Although most of us had some damage and tons of clean up, it was mostly minor damage considering how many trees we have in the neighborhood. However some of our neighbors lost their entire houses due to trees crashing through them but thank goodness no one was hurt. We are going on our 11th day without power and I believe most of us are SICK of it. Many of us went back to work yesterday and most of the kids went back to school today (praise the Lord!). Almost everyone headed for the hills (aka A/C) when the weather turned hot or they bought a generator and a window unit. Boy, are they living the life of luxury - HA! Bo and I are returning to the neighborhood tonight, power or not, because it's just too hard to get any place without gridlock traffic. So many traffic lights are still out around town. It makes even the closest and simplest errands extremely time consuming and road-ragish!
Please post your photos too. I apologize in advance if I offend anyone - it's a joke, already! This is a photo of some of our neighbors waiting in line after IKE, for an MRE from a POD provided by FEMA. Aren't they pitiful!
