Well, here we are in our new "home" in Dallas...we are here, safe and with power, food, a/c, and good friends. We came here yesterday as the conditions in The Woodlands aren't horrible, just no power and a big mess...I guess it more a giant inconvience...especially with little ones. Anyways, we weathered IKE in our walk in closet all night Friday and into early Sat morning. It was freaky...wind like none other and lots of thuds felt through the ground of the house. Chad and I have decided that that we thought we were prepared...but not for more than 2 days. Our food all spoiled and the kids were crawling the walls. Needless to say...I was not being too nice either:) On our way to Dallas we heard on the radio that The Woodlands can plan on 2-4 weeks w/o power...the transmission towers have to be completely rebuilt and shipped in~YIKES! We really are'nt sure where we will go or what we will do after Friday...I may go to MN and stay until we get power back and food and gas are readily available. There is nothing right now as NO stores or gas stations are with power in our town...anyways, here are some pics of our entrance to Dallas and pre and post IKE pics of the house...We are also official FEMA evacuees...what a title!
Dallas...home sweet powered home!
Our house before the storm...a beautiful sunset disguises whats to come 8 hours later...
Some damage to the garage...these are our trees...missed Chad's car by 1 mm, literally! Our garage is leaking and obviously needs a little TLC, we're just thankful it's not our living space. My neighbor got one thru her roof.
The view is a little different now...We really are ok and feel blessed that nothing else happened to our family and friends...Hopefully we'll be home soon...

HI you don't know me from Adam I was just browsing through blogs when I came across yours. I went through hurricane Fran in NC and the damage to your area looks very familiar. We too had a brick home much like yours with trees down everywhere and one missed our van by mere inches and it would have hit it had my husband not moved it about an hour before the storm hit. Glad you are safe and sound and hope my hometown is treating you well. Enjoy the Big D while you are there and praying you can return home to electricity soon.
