Hurricane Ike 2008
I came across this old photo of our backyard. We were so lucky. On either side of us water came into our neighbors' roofs. Our neighbor on the right had his 2nd floor ceiling collapse. The neighbor on our left had her sheetrock soaked from top to bottom. She was out of her house for many, many months while it was being repaired.
Everyone's fence blew down and almost evryone had to get a new roof. The nieghborhood streets were filled with downed trees and powerlines. You can see some electrical cords by the back door. DH had gotten a generator so we had a few lamps and appliances going.The generator was in the garage. It was LOUD!
