Ack Hurricanes!

So we moved away from FL assuming that we'd never deal with Hurricane problems again....but this past weekend we did!! Hurricane Ike's remains flew over the Kentuckiana area and the wind streams apparently combined just right to create MAJOR wind problems. We had gusts of 75-80mph but steady 60mph. We lost power at about 11 or so on Sunday AM we assume (but we were at church) and just got it back around 10:30 on Monday AM. Joel's mom is still out of power, along with nearly half of Louisville/Indiana. Luckily God spared our house and we didn't have much damage.....a few branches down but nothing hit the house so we were very blessed. It's crazy how everything has developed. Lights are still down in a lot of major intersections and gas prcies are absurd at like $4.15, not to mention the hour long wait to get it at all in the city. In our town the lines aren't too bad and luckily we got gas on Friday so haven't needed it yet but i will have to pay out the bum soon for it!
Joel's mom may be coming over tonight if she doesn't have power back but we'll see how that goes.
Well i'm back off to work. Speaking of which, yesterday we had no cell tower so i had no way to see if work was 'open' so i stayed home, since most of the area was HARD hit. But then around 11 i got cell service and found out that the office was open so i came in around 1:00 to work a 1/2 day, but then they let us leave early at 3:00....so that was a big help and was nice. I was able to go to WalMart near our side of town and they had fully stocked shelves and got some food. We are faring a lot better than most so we've been very blessed. Well ok i'm outtie....... :)

HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
