Lights Out!

The remnants of Hurricane Ike surprised us with a severe windstorm on Sunday afternoon. Nobody anticipated the 75 mph wind gusts that uprooted trees, damaged homes, and left 500,000 in the tri-state area without power.... including us, our friends, and our family. I'll be back online when our power is up! :)

I still haven't heard from my Houston friends. Amazing that stupid 'ol Ike caused so much damage for such a long distance. Hope your power is back on now. We are so dependent on electricity.
