I am exhausted from a long night with Ike! And, I am very thankful for electricity. We lost power at 9:30 p.m. last night and just got it turned back on...22 hours later! The rains were minimal but the winds made up for that! It is hard to believe that winds can blow so hard for so many hours. I am use to tornadoes that leave as quickly as they arrive. Hurricane Ike was a good 12 hours of winds that varied anywhere from 25-85 mph. Unbelievable stuff. I have posted some cool pictures of the clouds on my profile. We took them before it got to dark and dangerous. The photos don't do Ike justice. You could actually see the clouds swirling up in the sky around us as they were moving in. As far as property damage, we were one of the lucky few that sustained no damage. Many of our neighbors weren't quite so lucky. Thank you all for your well wishes and especially the prayers. You are such an awesome group of friends!
