Re: (TFT) After "Ike"

[Tim <rebl@swbell.net>]

I live in Pearland, 13 miles south of Houston, and we decided to ride out the
hurricane here. I boarded up the windows and doors and said a few prayers
myself. Luckily, we came through relatively undamaged. I lost a couple of
shingles from my roof, had one busted porch light, and my satellite dish was
twisted. Some estimates put the sustained winds in Pearland at 75mph, with
gusts up to 90.
 
I hope to never go through this again, but it's part of living on the Texas
gulf coast.
 
Glad to know you are ok too.
 
Tim

You are fortunate.  Gustav (which came right before Ike) took out our wooden
fence and damaged our house.  We were without power for 8 days, which
doesn't seem like a lot until it's happening to you.  We were blessed
that,
unlike many of our neighbors, we had no roof damage.

I'm glad you came through it relatively unscathed.  Ike was a very nasty
storm.
