Well as most of you know, Hurricane Ike hit our area this past friday night/saturday morning. We actually just got off the cruise ship ready to go home, and got stuck in the Galveston evacuation traffic!! Then we were off to get some storm supplies and food from the store... which ended up consisting of 2 packs or water some pretzels, pop-tarts, and oreos!! WE WERE READY TO "SURVIVE", lol! EVERYTHING WAS GONE!! There was not one loaf of bread in the store!!
We were soooooooooooo blessed!! Our house only had a little limb damage, lots of leaves everywhere, and little hole on our roof! We looked down our street and saw soooo many houses with TONS more damage! One man lost ALL his trees in his yard.... they were all up-rooted with the soil still attached!! There were power lines laying all over the roads and one lady had her plumbing up-rooted when her tree fell over!! And there were tons of people with their roofs completely blown off!! PRAISE GOD for watching over our home!!
We don't have any power of course, but we are very fortunate to be able to stay with my parents!! They had a generator and could plug in a small a/c and the refrigerator!! Their power come on the very next day.... so we really only "roughed it" for like 24 hrs!! THANK YOU JESUS!! It's hard not having any electricity with a toddler!! So we've moved in with my parents temporarily!! They say that our power won't be on until OCTOBER 5!!! YIKES!!
