[Coco] Eye of Ike approaching my home

[KARL SEFCIK]

Rog,
I think UPS is trying to compete too much with the post office 
"Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night".
Dude, stay safe, our prayers are with you. The Dallas arfea just started getting rain about 2PM. I'm a skywatcher here for one of the tv stations, and there was no rain overnight, I wa sup all night at work keeping an ear open for falling raindrops,lol.

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.
