Well folks we made it to the other side unscathed but more appreciative of electircity and suppliers of ice! We lost power around 5am the morning of the hurricane and it just returned last night. (Sat.-Thurs.) We have friends and people not to far away from us that are still without these things. God blessed us with minimal damage. We had nothing more than tree branches everywhere. Our neighbors were not as lucky. Several friends had trees in and across there pools, against and in their houses and across fences. The first picture of the streets was the evening after the hurricane blew in. What a mess. For those of you not familar with where we live, it is in a forest. Ike had a blast with the trees here. Not a road for miles didn't have a tree or eight laying across it. Chainsaws have been blazing trails.
C was bound and determined to help our neighbors get there tree to stand up again.To no avail, but valiant effort!
The pile of debris is so common here right now. Every house has nothing smaller than what C is standing next to at the curb. FEMA is in charge of getting it moved out so we may be decorating it for Christmas! ;)
N is not in any pictures I have so far in my camara during the last week due to the wonderful fact that all the children in our neighborhood have been outside playing and not on the computer or X-Box!!!!
