Yellowrose, how did u fair up there with Ike? - Page 1

I am just now getting a signal to get out, no power yet here.

I was worried about you up there in all those trees. We were hit hard here in Polk County, alot of tornados etc. My subdivision was pretty much tossed around like toothpicks, trees down in every yard, elect poles and lines flopping around like spaghetti, many houses have trees on them, my house was spared so far, have a couple of trees partway down by the rootball that we are trying to get someone to cut down before they come down on the house but everyone is busy elsewhere, hub isnt able to do much to help altho his health has improved somewhat, he doesnt have the strength or stamina. Besides many trees losing their tops and a couple down in the yard, we had shingles torn off the roof and several large limbs on the vehicles. We are all ok tho. My sis evacuated up here from Kemah and good thing too, she lost everything she owned in the house she was renting, it was about 12 ft underwater. She went and saw it today for the first time and said it was a total loss.

Has anyone heard from TriCounty K9?? Did they get any of the storm? I hope everyone else in Texas faired well in the storm without to much damage.
