Kristina sent this picture to me during Hurricane Ike. This picture was taken from her apartment (where I used to live too) in the Montrose area in Houston.
Kristina took this after the storm. If you look closely, you can see water flowing down the street on the other side of the gate, but it didn't get high enough to flood the house, thank goodness!Kristina told me today that the entire area is without power and that trees have been uprooted all over the neighborhood. My friends Tracy and Jena stayed in Houston during the storm as well and are both okay, thank goodness! I hope that power comes back on soon so they can get everything back to normal. My thoughts are with you Kristina, Jena, and Tracy...and all the rest of my family and friends that are having to deal with the aftermath of Ike.
Ike left a huge mess at my grandfather's house, but luckily, there was no flooding. My little Honda (actually mom's now since I moved) got a smash in the windshield.
Tracy sent this picture to me of her front yard. They believe a tornado may have destroyed this tree. From what I understand, this was their worst damage. Their house did not flood and her family is okay. Thank goodness!

My mom and Richard packed up yesterday and headed to College Station to avoid Hurricane Ike. I've been glued to the TV here in New York watching this huge storm, so I'm really relieved that they were able to leave Baytown. I know they will be safe in College Station, but I'm hoping their backyard, shown in the picture, can hold up to whatever winds and damage Ike brings its way!
