Hurricane Ike

As many know, we went through hurricane Ike on September 12th, and 13th. I believe it was still a Cat 2 when it got inland far enough to hit our area. From what I can tell the eye of the storm went over Splendora and Cleveland and I do have family there that survived the storm. I will plan on posting all the photos, so this will be one big blog. Everyone managed fine. I can handle the hurricane, but I would prefer to have it during the day. The nighttime ones really suck!!

Most of the damage photos are from around the neighborhood and a few from the apartment complex that we used to live at. My house didn't have any damage except our back fence. We did have a concern regarding a 60 ft tree behind our house and the direction of the wind was favorable for it to land across my whole house, but God was watching out for us because it is still standing. I honestly believe that it's because of that tree that we didn't have damage. Just lots of tree limbs and leaves in our yard.

Anyway, feel free to leave comments, I just wanted to show the local damage. I also have photos of the clouds and the sunset the evening before the storm. Anyway, here are the photos that I took. Feel free to comment.
