 My Back Yard Thank God that it looks worse than it actually is. There was only minor damage to the roof. But a few feet over and we would have been remodeling our kitchen! There was a huge pine tree that fell and was heading straight for our bedroom but was held up by other trees. The first night after Hurricane Ike blew through, we stayed at a friend's house. That night a cold front came in and the rains poured. My back yard started flooding and came within an inch of my back door. My neighbor saw that the debris was blocking the water from flowing around the side of my house. He ran in and cleared a path and saved my house from flooding. I owe that man a beer... or two... kegs! I have been very lucky. Many in our neighborhood had trees that plowed right through the middle of their homes. And again, we don't live in a third world country... I imagine going through a hurricane in a thatched roof hut is quite a different experience. Today is my first day back to work. Still no electricity at home though,so I probably won't be making the photoblog rounds for a while. I'll hope to be by soon! | |
