Thanks to all who checked in with me during hurricane Ike.  My family and I are okay, and we're now in Dallas awaiting restoration of power.  During the storm I still had Edge connectivity on my iPhone, so I was checking local tweets with Twinkle, and it was very interesting to see what folks within 10 miles of me were saying.  What a cool feature. 

As for damage, our house is fine.  Luckily, all we lost was our fence!  Some houses weren't so lucky.

Here are some pics that I took with my phone:

My wife took some pictures with a much better camera, so I'll link to those soon.  Time to clean up!
