Ay que Ike!

Is Ike short for something else? Well, I sit here in our dining room posting pics and updates while our generator runs. We lost power Saturday about 3:30am when the hurricane reached us. It was a scary time listening to the wind blowing as if haunting our house. The rain did not come to a stop until about 6:00pm on Sunday . . . and even then it kept coming and going. We've had running water throughout. Gas stove works and we can take a hot shower. Another blessing is this wonderful cold front. We've been able to sleep with no problems with this great breeze coming through our windows. Here are a few pics of our surrounding areas.

Wow -- How handy you had a generator! I guess you guys probably need it for all of the computer equipment that can't shut down just because of a power outage? I'm glad you're safe. Hurricane Ike (what was left of it) also hit Carl & Rita in Ohio & tore some of their roof off. Crazy, huh?
