These are not the best quality, b/c I printed & scanned them (except for the sunset one and the one of the tree that smashed the neighbors' place) and then uploaded them to Photobucket. I did it that way b/c if I upload them from the digital camera it takes way too long to upload.

The sunset before Ike hit:




I'm gonna have to copy & paste these one at a time, so please bear with me.

The neighbors across the street:



An uprooted tree, with a bike stuck on the base of it:



A tree on someone's house:

Wow! Looks like your area took a beating. Ohio was pretty hard hit, too, for being as far north as we are; we had winds just under hurricane-force on badly maintained power lines. Obvious results--I was so glad when I got power back, but some people don't have it yet. I dragged a tree out of my yard, chucked the food in my fridge, and that was about it. Annoying, but nowhere near losing your house, as some people did. (I really don't understand why you would live in Galveston, though. Not after that first big hurricane.)

It's amazing that Ike went as far north as it did.
There are still peeps here w/o power, too.


Galveston got it pretty badly: but Boliver Peninsula is even worse (it's across from Galveston, and you take the ferry to get there). The entire peninsula is destroyed. I love going to Galveston, but there's NO way I'd ever live there.
We're about 120 miles inland, and still got hit badly.
