Tonight at the football game of Boerne Champion High School, we had a strange view of the outer cloud bands of Hurricane Ike. Boerne, Texas, where is live, is about 200 miles from Houston, safely out of danger from Ike’s gale force winds and heavy rain. What we saw tonight was strangely beautiful . . . strange because of the peril developing not too far away. For us, the outer cloud ring of Ike made for a beautiful sunset. For those in Galveston, Houston, and neighboring communities, Ike looks very scary right now. It’s odd, isn’t it, how nature can be both terrifying and beautiful at the same time, depending on your point of view.
