Aftermath
Well, we survived. Brutal winds here but not nearly as bad as some places. Lots of neighbors lost their shingles, but almost all of those were replacement ready. We reroofed last summer and did not lose a shingle. The fences are a different story though - lots of work to do getting things back to the way they were before. Power was out here from about 12:30am Saturday morning until 4:30pm Sunday afternoon. Overall, not too bad. We were well prepared with plenty of water and food and aside from lots of climate discomfort and difficulty sleeping, we came through ok. Here are some pictures...
My own damage:
Ike didn't like fences much...
Or screens...
The neighborhood:
Trees and bushes hardest hit...
No respect for shingles...
Or politics...
Coping with no power:
Mouth to mouth for the fish (they survived!)
Candlelight Scrabble

Hey. Just a thought. Why do you have a smiley-emoticon but not a frownie-emoticon?
Because when faced with pictures from a disaster area, THAT is the thought upper-most in my mind ;p

I’m glad to see that you survived without too much damage.
Was the “Go Away” painted on the boarded up window intended for Ike? Seems like “rain, rain go away” on a grander scale.
I was surprised there were any Obama signs in Texas for Ike to blow over!
