Ike Eve: 8 p.m.

• It's now dark and the curfew is in effect.
• Wind gusts remain the same.
• No rainfall seen yet.
• Heather Saucier is being interviewed on TV in her capacity as a spokesperson for Harris County Flood Control. It still feels weird to see people I went to school with in positions of important responsibility. I feel that says more about me than her, by the way.
• It just occurred to me that they're going to need a lot of volunteers to help in the aftermath of this storm.
