I later found out that you now lead the Comp Modeling team in Clinton. This is a really big deal - I was always frustrated that no one outside of the team understood why things worked in Refinery Processing. The Comp Modeling crew saved me from a number of serious errors in processing strategies. Please do your best to find people who can keep the technology going. You're a great person to make this happen - combine math, chemistry, analytics, and engineering. A great challenge, but something for which you're uniquely qualified. Best wishes, Doug Harrison Ken,

It seems to come with the high wind gusts. The gusts and the rain are still coming in waves; we're not getting a constant wind. We're also loosing our TV signal - it looks like our cable provider, Comcast, is losing its satellite coverage. As of now, we still have power, but reports say other parts of Houston have already lost power. Since it's dark outside, it's tough to explain the strange noises happening outside.

We're still getting gusts of wind - they come in waves. Best guess has gusts around 30-40 MPH. When the larger gust come, they sound a bit like a freight train. Our power is above ground, so I expect we'll lose it at some point tonight. I've been watching weather instruments at work in Baytown, TX. So far, wind speeds are hanging around 20-30 MPH with occasional gusts above 40 MPH. The sun’s gone down, so it’s dark now. We’re still getting gusts of wind - they come in waves.

We're also seeing some initial water drops, but not really much of a drizzle. A tree on the street came down - it was likely fragile, it's the only one so far, and we haven't seen any other worrisome signs yet. <img src="http://www.kennethmlee.com/uploads/ike-first-tree-down.jpg" /> We’re now getting real gusts of wind, probably around 20 MPH.

Kendall here. I’m not trying to minimize the danger that Galveston and the surrounding area faces. It’s real and eminent. And the people who opted to stay on this sea-level island are cra-razy. But I do just want to tell our friends and family these news channels are definitely hyping the danger to Houston. They’re all about ratings and have been dramatizing this for 2-3 days now, and the nation has been glued to their televisions. Now that we’re the story, I see how the news story/ratings machine really works. I grew up in Charleston, SC, part of hurricane alley, so this whole experience is old-hat for me. The thing that sucks the worst is that the air conditioning will go out when the power goes out (pretty sure that it will, and it’s still HOT here). Don’t know if Ken has mentioned this, but we live about 35 miles inland, at 50 feet above sea level. We’ve got food, water, and a generator. Prayers are always welcome, but please try not to worry. We’ll be fine. Thanks for all the love and concern. -K. Hey, all. Kendall here. I’m not trying to minimize the danger that Galveston and the surrounding area faces. It’s real and eminent.
