Faired well -- only lost power for 6 hours. Daughters from Houston not as lucky, came home no power yet. Galveston and coastal towns there very bad.

I just got home too. Home is OK but NO POWER and doesn't look like we'll have it soon. There are power lines down IN THE ROAD in some places. Lots of trees down. Fortunately for us, hubby works for a company that provides generators to the plants/refineries around here and has access so WE have power courtesy of that. We lucked out because Ike was headed straight for us at one point (the center line was about 5 miles from our house) but it turned and we only caught the edge of it (on the good side) instead. No school around here till AT LEAST Friday and maybe not even then. It's good to be home even if we do have to semi rough it for awhile.

Wow, what a story, Grandma! Those hurricanes are so dang powerful, they can change your whole life. Well I'm glad you're basically OK, anyway ... hope your town gets all power back soon. We can so take those basic things for granted, and when we lost them ... it's hell! -SpellingAddict

So glad to hear that! 6 hours may seem like a long time when you don't know when it will end.

The pictures and video look horrific. Here in Maine we have occasional hurricanes, but nothing like the Gulf storms.

I assume you heard what happened with Eric McLean. His lawyer thinks he will get off with probation. Sentencing Nov. 7.

Now OJ...

Welcome back. It sounds as if it will be weeks before power is restored to many areas.
