We are close to the eye itself now. Not only does the radar show such, but everyone here almost at the same time commented about our ears popping (similar to the sensation on an airplane). I assume thats because of the low pressure in the eye of the storm. I had always heard the weather guys refer to the pressure dropping, but had no idea we’ d’ actually physically feel it.

I guess in stressful times like this, even the basic things seem fascinating.

As we enter the eye, at least we know we will have a little break from the wind and rain… And then just a few more hours until Ike gets the hell out of here.
