Hurricane Ike

Well we just spent this weekend bracing for and riding out Hurricane Ike in our home. As we suffered minimal damage and are one of the lucky streets to NOT have lost power, we have many friends and family without power and anywhere from minimal to severe damage to their homes and property.
It's quite a sad site in the Galveston Island Area as many historical buildings have either taken on much water or been completely demolished and are no longer standing, not to mention the homes that have been lost as a result of the high water winds and rains.
Our prayers and thoughts go out to those people in many ways.
Here is a video from our back porch during the storm, remember what you are seeing in our back yard is minimal damage compared to what some suffered:
