Hurricane Ike

Hi all...I am writing from Ricky's parents. We have taken up living here as we patiently wait for our power to be turned back on. We came though IKE without a scratch on us or our home. We only lost the annoying Pine Tree in the front yard and some solar screens from the house.
I decided as I sat up all night that I will evacuate from here the next time a storm comes through. It was quite stressful. The first time I went through a hurricane, was during Alicia which happen to be 25 years to the day of Ike. Needless to say, I don't remember that storm. So this was really my first storm. I am glad that we are all okay as are all of our friends and extended family.
Pictures will be following.
