Aftermath

Well, I’m currently in north Texas, about 300 miles from my home. It seems it may be a month (or longer) before I can go back because of the extensive damage Ike caused to the electrical system (not to mention debris from flooding and wind damage being cleared from the streets). It doesn’t help that the damage ranges from Lousisana to west of Houston, so there’s a limited amount of people to start working on getting power up and running for our area. From what I’ve heard, my house is okay. I didn’t have anyone make a full walk-through around the back of my house, but from the front they only saw some limbs in the yard. I’m very thankful. Hopefully tomorrow we’ll find out if FEMA is going to cover hotel rooms because we’re quickly running out of funds. I believe they will, and I’ll make sure to get a place with wi-fi, so I can keep you updated. Prayers go out to all of the victims of Hurricane Ike, and I hope everyone and their homes are safe.
