Hey everyone! First off, we survived Ike, and took alot of damage, and there is alot of clean up ahead, but we have power, 2 days after...we have power! We were told that we wouldn't have power for close to a month, and we were told to leave the town. My town is about 30 miles away from Galveston Island, and 10-15 form Kemah . Galveston was hit hard, the only reason the island is still there is because of the sea wall, the storm surge was at the top of the seawall 12 hrs before the storm even hit, this cat 2 storm had the surge of a cat 4. The west side of the island has no sea wall, and it is full of farmland and NICE beach houses, well there is no west side anymore. Our fav beach was on the west side too..

The storm itself was amazing! Watching winds so strong like they were really makes you realize the size and strength of God!

I could keep going on forever and ever about it all, but I am tired..lol. I still havent heard from diana, I sent her a text, she was on the north side of houston, but some parts dont have power in north houston.

Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers! Our town was spared for sure, it could have been way worse, like our neighboring towns. Keep praying and thinking for all the people that didn't fair as well as we did.
