Y-Ike-s

Wow, I never want to go through that again. Now, two weeks after the storm, I can look back and say my first real hurricane can be my last, for all I care.
We saw the brunt of the western Eye wall, still less than those to the east of us. Plenty enough for me though and I'm sure glad we boarded up the windows.
The wind began to build at 9 PM on Friday night and rose steady to 75 mph by 4 AM and then began to ease until by 10 or 11 AM a brisk breeze was all that was left except the unmistakable signs of Ike's passage. Trees and limbs and fences strewn everywhere.
Thankfully we had no damage to our house.

more to come
