It's been 4 days now since Ike came through and turned Galveston and Harris County upside down. My family and I were fortunate enough only to experience minor tree damage in our yards, but many have suffered extreme loss...for some, everything they own.
For me, each day has been a test of patience, understanding, compassion, and prayer. JD and I are still without power in our own home, but have been blessed to ride out the storm and the aftermath at my mom's home just down the road from us. They were restored power 2 -3 days after the storm.
It's been odd being out from work this much, but it's estimated that it could be 2-3 weeks before we're let back on the island to work. Until then, it's a matter of sitting and waiting. Curfews are in effect and things don't quite feel the same in our cities.
I have taken pictures of some of the damages done in and around town and will plan to post them on myspace if interested. My thoughts and prayers are with anyone who has experienced this storm and the damages it may have caused physically or psychologically.
