We got hit by our first Texas hurricane, and luckily we're ok. Some wall sections were damp, trees fell down outside our windows, and we lost electricity for four days. Our schedule quickly became timed with sunlight and I finished a puzzle and started another one. We played Sorry, Yahtzee, Uno, Scrabble, and card games to help time pass. We also got to know our neighbors really well, since we were all outside looking for other humans to talk to. All of our friends further in the city had power, so we visited them for TV time and to cook and shower. Today, Friday the 19th, is the first day we went out and bought fresh food. It's funny how you appreciate the small things like ice, traffic lights, and the hum of electricity after going through a power outage. Here's a few pictures from Hurricane Ike.
We put tarp over the windows in case our windows broke from the wind.
We fiit our blow-up bed in our walk-in closet for sleeping during the storm. We were told to wait out the storm in our innermost room of the apartment.
The trees next to our apartment got blown over!
