Ike

hurricane Ike was kinda bad well in my case it was a little i mean mom was getting prepare ever she heard it was heading to texas. last we heard abt a hurricane which was rita we dicided to stay. we got lucky cause it just went by thru houston but this time our luck was cuit short. the day of the storm it was pretty unexpected we thought since it was a catagory 2 it was not going to be that bad. that saturday morning we headed outside, damages were not as bad as we thought. the really bad things was a whole bunch of branches n water.that was pretty much it. the coming week i knew it wasn't going to be fun we still dont have power to this day hopefully we get it back today or at least this week. a whole week without power is really boring n fustrating. i mean we have to cook meals on a grill outside in the dark we have to n find ice to keep drinks or water cold. we bought a genetator dat sunday after the storm so i mean gas prices just are crazy last week but i mean there was work so there was money for gas. but event thought we have a/c we cant sleep that good cause of the annoying sound from the genetator.i also saw that people that lived in my apartments were very helpful to one another. i mean well most of them the people my mom really know like our two neighbors were really cool n the other people close to us were too. so i mean i saw that those people would help out each other so we help them. we ran some cords in order to give them some power. we got lucky because the water pressure n temp. were just fine. there was no problem with that. we didnt have a problem with fun cause we had enough so i mean i guess we did survive this storm. i mean i really feel bad for all the people in Galveston i mean their homes were just destroyed.
