Hurricane Ike: we survived!

Laura's back yard got tore up... a tree fell on her house but it doesn't look like it did too much damage... more damage was done to her yard, her deck, and her neighbor's house that the trees fell on. But she has a generator over there and they're doing pretty well otherwise.

Generators ROCK!:D

It is good to be hearing from everyone that made it through okay!

Good luck with the cleanup ahead. :)

We cleaned up the day after the hurricane just to have it flood again that night... :(

I'm so happy to hear that everybody has made it through this weather in safety. Understand we were thinking of all of you and crossing fingers and toes that all would turn out well.

Thank the gods for finger and toe crossing! ;)

Be well everyone :)

Aww. :[
I have become quite fond of Illinois's temperature ranges and weather. Plus I'm a sucker for thunderstorms. :cool:

I happen to like this state! It's cozy for me I suppose. :P

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.

Glad to hear you're okay, or as well as can be expected.

Got some groceries yesterday and a full tank of gas in my car today so it's all good..... ;)
