Hurricane Ike

I just wanted to give an update for those that are worried about us in regards to hurricane Ike. They said we had some hurricane force gusts, but mostly just a tropical storm. It is still raining and a little windy, but the storm is far enough past us that they have taken us off of tropical storm alert and flash flood alert. It was a little worrisome hearing the wind whistling outside, but there has not been any damage done to us or our home. We haven't even had a power outage. We are very greatful that we are safe and out of the danger. They said on the news that this is the worst hurricane that has hit this area of Texas since 1961. We will be continuing to pray for those that were not as fortunate as us especially down in the Galveston area and hope that you will join us!
We were also very greatful to be able to get two trees in our yard taken down yesterday before the storm hit. One was hollow on the inside and the other was split down the middle from lightning so they very well could have fallen and done some damage to our house if they were still there. Have a great day!
