We survived the Hurricane of 2008 with little damage to our house. My daughter did not fair as well though. Her house flooded with 6 inches of water from all the rain. They didn't have elec for a week and they are now living in our travel trailer parked in their driveway. They are slowly getting things fixed up and repainted.
We had a few trees fall in our yard, but not on our house, thank the Lord. We had 6 adults and 5 children staying at our house after the storm. We didn't have electricity for about 10 days. After the 3rd day with no elec, the girls decided to head out to Florida and stay with my son and his wife and children. They were great! We stayed with them about 4 days till my children here in LA had elec. Then we came home.
There was so much devestation in our area, mostly roof damage and trees down. The news is saying this is the worst storm to hit our area since they have been keeping records. We were blessed that Ike didn't come our way, but are sorry for the folks it did hit.
We still haven't finished cleaning up from Gustav. My MIL has been staying with us since her heart surgery. She has been here almost 4 weeks now. My husband, since he is a carpenter has been helping everyone except us! This weekend was the first weekend since Sept 1 that we have been home all weekend together. That's all for this post.
