Hurricane Ike: we survived!

Having lived thru an almost direct hit from Ivan, which was one mile shy of a cat 4, I sympathize with you. So glad you made it thru OK and that you got your power back so quickly!! Enjoy the clean up LOL, best thing you can do is make a point of stopping at around 3 everyday regardless of how you feel. If you don't you will quickly burn out. Took us 6 months to get my parent 2 acres cleaned up working 5 days a week on it....just aweful....

Wow... Glad to hear you are okay!!

I'm glad that you managed to make it through the storm. I hope you are able to get everything repaired soon. The biggest thing is that you're okay. :yes:

Well we lived! No major damage, and we have power back today, so not that bad. We did lose a lot of food because we couldn't find ice anywhere, and my feed barn was damaged enough to get some feed and hay wet.

Our town is still out of power though, along with a ton of people. Took us three hours to get gasoline in the next city over even. But we made it.

We stocked up on it all, and we bought a generator at the last minute! It was all good. This cool front helped alot, even with the power we have turned the AC off and opened the doors and windows, its a cool 58 tonight!:D Where are you at Epona?

Glad your alright.

First time Illinois has been hit by a tropical storm in many years! Haha. No wind, but we have a main river running through are town. It's soo bad down there.

hah, I remember living in Illinois way back in the day. I LOVE that state.

Just checking in to say I'm alive... still no electricity at my house so I've taken the snakes off feed for the time being. Had a few trees fall down but no damage to my house. Some of the neighbors weren't so fortunate.... I am just at work right now so I'll try to give everyone updates here and there when I can. Got some groceries yesterday and a full tank of gas in my car today so it's all good..... ;)
