Hurricane Ike

Here are some pictures of Ike and how it effected us. This first one is the trees in our backyard bending in the wind. I have heard we had 80-100 mile a hour winds in Nacogdoches. The girls went out a little in the beginning of the storm. We had one tree in our back yard fall down through 2 fences. Our neighbor across the street had a tree fall on her house. Luckily it was close to the house so it didn't cause any damage. John was able to get both trees cut down and clean them up the day after the storm. We all helped to pick up depris and clean the yard up. We were without power for 3 days which is lucky because some friends down the street went 6 days without power. We made the bestof it and set up a cooking kitchen in the garage. It was like camping but we did have more conveniences.
