[Coco] Eye of Ike approaching my home

[Roger Taylor]

We still have power for now, amazingly.  Trees are down, the roads 
are covered with debree and so forth.  The winds are very rough.  The 
trees are whipping around madly as you'd expect.  My 8 yeard old son 
and I have been hanging out on the "porch" with digital video trying 
to capture something - what, I don't know, maybe memories.  I'll 
update later if anything more drastic happens.

In another story, UPS sent me directly towards the north part of the 
eye this morning even after I asked to stay local; they sent me to 
Henderson TX as the eye was not too far south of there.  I delivered 
4 packages in these conditions.  The rain was being sucked across the 
road at times.  It was hard to handle the truck at times but I safely 
returned to the center and then back home after a total of 3 
hours.  I veered around numerous trees covering (luckily) half of the 
road in some places.

Wow.
