Hurricane Ike didn't hit here... (Updated)

Updated: Moved the video to YouTube when Blogger stopped working. :)

But it sure did pass by.

Once Mom had tried to return home this morning after her evacuation to our house only to find that the water was once again over River Road - I think we really started to feel stir crazy. Soooo she and I had to get out of the house and bring our cameras...

Here's some footage of the waves at the seawall complete with a shot of one of my feet getting wet. It's all a lot more fantastic to see (the waves & wind - not my foot) when it isn't crashing into your house.....



You'll be able to find pictures from Mom at her site sometime today as well.


Edit: For the purpose of comparison for those not familiar with the area - I've added the following picture of this spot along the Pascagoula sea wall on a typical day.

A site with four simultaneous streams of tv news about Ike from Houston:

This sure beats grubbing around on the net to see what's happening.
