FSR Prepares for Ike, Gates to Remain Open

As of this post, Hurricane Ike is forecast to impact the San Antonio area Friday night and Saturday with gusty winds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms. Due to the possibility of power failure, the gates will remain open starting noon Friday through the weekend.

The following websites are recommended to prepare for the stormy weekend:

Batten down your property and avoid high water crossings.
