Re: Hurricane Ike

God bless generators! We are in Alvin and that is really close to Galveston (as the crow flys) and we are ok. MANY huge trees are a thing of the past and many neighbors got tons of damage to their rooftops. We have about two to three weeks of work ahead of us cutting trees and tree limbs down, making fire piles (many). We have no power on 2 acres, so that means no water which means, no bathing or flushing (). We have several friends at Jamaica Beach that won't know for some time if they still have a bayhouse. We certainly hope so. I will give a report back about Galveston Island State Park as soon as we can get there and they will let us in. One word though, as bad as it looks on TV, it's worse. Texas is a strong state and I don't expect to hear much whining, maybe a few grunts as we all get back to work fixing things.
