After a long uncomfortable week, we can finally say that we survived "ike". Our power came back on yesterday after a long week of open windows and no stove. But we did alright.
Chris got out there and battled the storm the first day to get the generator up and running. He also had to get up in the wee hours to refill the tank and keep us as comfortable as we could be.
Thank goodness for that generator. Otherwise we might have lost our minds.

We turned in to "kingwood trash" as some of our friends say, as we strung a home made clothes line in the back so I could dry our clothes and added a window unit to cool off at night. But man did it work!
After the storm passed, we can say that we were lucky. 
The only damage that we had was an up rooted tree in the front yard. But the rest of the neighborhood looked like a bomb went off. There are still trees down every where, and limbs and branches covering the streets. Parts of the area are still without power! We consider our selves lucky. The sounds of the wind when it came through were horrible.

But we made it!

Glad to see yall made it through. Mom and Dad still don't have power and are getting antsy! I told them to get on a plane and come to Delaware, but of course they wouldn't :) Hopefully they'll have some lights AND air tomorrow night!! Thanks for the pictures - looks like everyone made it through ok.
