Pre-Ike Winds
Hurricane Ike & Our House
Wet floors at as Ike blows water through both of our doors...and us trying desperately to use all of our towels to soak it up and sweep it out into the garage from 1:30-5;30am

Hanging Out At Our Lucky Friends' House with Electricity
All in all we have survived our first hurricane and are grateful that the damage was not worse (all of our windows and roof are intact) and that we again have electricity!
Thank you to all of our friends with electricity who opened their homes to us and shared their electricity with us (especially washing load after load of sopping stinky towels!). My grandma doesn't read this blog, but she will be very happy to know that the one frozen thing we managed to save by shuttling it from freezer to freezer with electricity after the storm was the green chili which she imports to me :)

Wow. Glad to see you came through in a relatively undamaged state.
You can count your many blessings that it was not worse. So glad that ya'll are okay.
CRAZY!
Jake,
It is Des. Glad you guys made it through! I just had to comment because the Green Chile in our freezer from New Mexico would be the thing that we save too! That stuff is too precious!!! :)
Wow. Man, natural disasters...not my friends. Cool, when they're just pictures to you.
Having recently refinished our wood floors, the water on your floor made my heart hurt. I'm sorry! I wish we had our "Seen on T.V." magical towels there to help you sop it all up.
All in all, I'm glad you're safe and that most of the damage you saw was water. Oh, and power loss. Hooray for friends with electricity!
