  1. Howdy! Obviously Ike is long gone, just wanted to point you to @weatherwatches for now. Future such community projects will originate there.
  2. We'll be mostly quiet from this point on, but keep us as a follow, though, we'll do this for any major hurricane, and announce it here.
  3. @SouthwestAir hasn't announced when they will resume flights. Continental says Monday.
  4. The Houston Chronicle has astoundingly good coverage set up at www.chron.com - they know a lot more than we do at this point.
  5. For those reading from afar, you won't be able to come back until at least Tuesday. Find (or stay in) a shelter until you hear for sure.
  6. If you've got food/water/shelter, stay put and check on your neighbors. Don't be going anywhere. 911 services are coming back up if needed.
  7. Answering DM: Yes, gas will probably be scarce the next few days. The refineries seem to be OK. Probably not a good idea to drive anyway.
  8. Answering DM: we don't need donations as thanks. The Red Cross does need it, however. www.redcross.org
  9. @SeanMarler: Team @HurricaneIke lost a sum total 5 pounds in the last 48 hours. You beat us.
  10. If you're in Houston/Galveston, @KTRKHouston is still tweeting useful info about the aftermath locally.
  11. We intended to cover the weather aspects of Ike (which are largely done), but we're still here if you need us. DM if we can help.
  12. Thanks to everyone who helped tweet during Ike. For recovery information check out www.redcross.org ... stay safe, check on your neighbors.
  13. The tornado watch has been canceled.

  17. We have alarms set in case of nasty weather while we take a quick nap. We'll come running. For now, heavy wind/rain. HUNKER DOWN! brb!
