Here are some pictures before Ike came to visit
After Ike's arrival:
Our Directv dish is under that tree!We made it! Our power is on (great since they said it could take up to 4 weeks to get power) and we have gas in the car! I never thought it would be so hard to find gas, ice, cell phone service and a banana! Besides not being able to do a load of laundry! The stores can only sell canned goods so I can't wait to refill the fridge again. The kids are sick of soup, fruit snacks and granola bars! It was priceless to see the kids faces when they flipped the switch and the lights went on! It was like Christmas!
It has been a rough couple of days but we are so lucky everyone is alive and well! We actually survived without TV for 4 days! Still, we only can watch movies but it is better than nothing. The lovely tree that decided to hit our house also destroyed the dish! I'm not sure when Directv will make it here to fix it. Also, thank you God for giving us some cool weather!
The storm was pretty scary! I have never heard wind like that and didn't think trees could bend so much. Throughout the night I could hear what sounded like stones hitting the windows. I hear it was probably pine cones being thrown around like darts.The sky was green most the night due to all the transformers blowing up. We lost power about 6am on Saturday right after the tree hit our house. It was a horrible noise and we knew it wasn't good. Thank God the kids slept through it all!
