Hurricane Ike
















Well, we survived the storm. Allan slept through the whole thing. We lucked out big time and walked away with no damage done to our house. Kirk and I were very lucky. We lost power for about 5 days. Thankfully, Kirk's parents got their power back on the next day and we got to "move in" with them. Aimee and family went to Columbus to stay at her sister-in-law's house. No power is not a very comfortable situation for a 9 month pregnant woman. Aimee lucked out and only had fence damage to her house down in Kemah. My parents on the other hand, not so lucky. Unfortunately, they lost the entire roof to their barn, which caused water damage to a lot of things in there. One major thing being their new car. It came out with a broken rear windshield and lots of water inside. They still have no power, but at least they now have running water. Keep your fingers crossed that they get power back soon.
Ike was a bad storm. Houston/Galveston was due for a big Hurricane. My heart goes out to those that have lost their homes. Lets hope we are done with hurricanes this season.
