Hurricane Report

Hurricane Ike struck in the middle of the night on Friday night/Saturday morning. We lost power at about 11:30 pm, and we were woken up at 5 am to our shed blowing away. It knocked down a section of our fence, but all our stuff that was in the shed stayed put. We were able to go out to gather the stuff in to the garage a little later in the day, and hopefully all the rain didn't cause too much damage.

Our power came back on at about 10:00 this morning (which is why I'm now able to get online). My work and the kids' school are still closed for a day or two, so we'll be able to get things figured out here at home.

Glad you're okay, and only had your shed and fence damaged! And only one whole day with the power down - woo hoo! Adam has been through a couple of hurricanes when their power was down for almost a week after.

I'm glad to hear you're fine. Sorry about your shed. I'm also glad stuff has been closed so you could get things figured out at home. We're praying for you.
