Ike

It is Thursday afternoon and I finally got internet at work. We are without power still and the optimistic target is by Monday 22Sep08....the pessimistic is sometime after Monday 22Sep08. As you can see in the pictures there is alot of trees down in the area. We had just a minor leak (rain blew thru the vent) and of course some limbs and leaves. We lost power around 12:35 am on Saturday.

The tree across the street fell into the neighbor's house and poked what the owner thought was one hole that he patched....then Sunday morning we got 4-6 inches of rain and he found out there was a second hole....wood floors...bad.

We were blessed to come out unscathed for the most part.

The Kelly's, our next door neighbors, and us dined for 3 days on what was in our freezers. First night was Crab Cakes, chicken and dumplings, and tamales. Second night was left over roast and rice and the third night was gumbo and tacos. The combinations were strange but it tasted really good.

....waiting for power.
