No one in Southeast Texas was untouched by Ike. Thank heavens mostly by inconvenience to us. We got lights and phones today. 50 percent of Jasper is up. This is one time I was glad to be first. We lost one tree and a LOT of limbs as you can see from the pics. I could fill up several dump trucks with all that is laying in the yard. I won't lack for something to do for a while.
Galveston was not as lucky, I heard the water surge there was 22 feet. We haven't had tv, so I don't know that for sure but looking at the damage it's believable. I think it was 14 feet in Winnie. The farmers and ranchers were wiped out. There are dead cattle in the thousands, and more still stranded that might not survive. Bridge city was hit hard also. The news reported today school will not start there for a month
Would you believe with winds here at 70 miles per hour we still have luv bugs. It should have blown them to the other side of the world. Here everyone is with no electricity and having to cook outside and the luv bugs are worse than they have been in years.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO KEPT US IN THEIR PRAYERS!!!!!
Some pics of the mess in my yard. The trees are getting really aero dynamic .
