We made it!!!

We made it through IKE!!! We were only without power for about a day; and we just got internet back!!! YAY!! But not everyone has been so lucky. There are many many people without water, power, or any of the things we take for granted. But everything is slowly coming back. The stores are getting milk and eggs now; and supposedly there are more gas stations with gas; but we haven't seen them yet. This whole thing has made me realize how vulnerable we really are; without power we are NOTHING!! This has also made me think about how bad this whole event is for the environment. With people driving long distances to get gas; trucks having to drive long distances to bring supplies, and everyone throwing EVERYTHING in the trash......it just makes me wanna cry. I have been recycling everything that I can to make me feel better; but it still makes me sad. If you would like to know of somewhere to recycle ANYTHING (here is the link) http://earth911.org/ !!! =)



I have attached some pics (not my own; but were sent to me).... prepare yourself they are not easy to see.

Hurricane IKE......

So, IKE (the hurricane) is headed straight for Houston as of right now. Many people are not leaving b/c they think that this one will be just like the past 3; which all moved north at the last minute. The popular phrase today is "We are bunkering down!!". But still people are crazy!! Grocery stores and gas stations are already running out of supplies! 

Wish us luck!!! I'lll keep u posted as long as we have internet. =)
