Aftermath of IKE





Well, it's been a week since Hurricane IKE blasted through Galveston and Houston, and we still have no power. My neighborhood was luckily spared any major damage, but everything around us was not so lucky. I actually got to hear what a tornado really sounds like, which is not really anything to be proud of, but is kind of cool after the fact. One good thing about all this is that our cul de sac has gotten to know each other very well from all the campfires we've built in the driveway this week. It would be nice to get back to normal life again though.
