Glad you're okay! We went through Hurricane Charley and later Wilma a few years back ... Powerful Hurricanes are a scary thing. We were in shock for quite a while after Charley. I learned that you can't have enough water! Also ... quite a few people died from improper use of generators -- carbon monoxide poisoning. Seems like it would be common sense, but dozens died in just our area. Be careful ... glad your power is up.

Happy to hear you made it through gilraen, my daughter and family are in the Houston area and survived it also, lot of downed trees, fortunately no damage to their house. She just txt'ed me and said the power has been down since 0200 again, but they're doing dutch oven roast tonight and the grandkids think it is a great big camp out...hope things go better for all of you soon.

I'm STILL dealing with the power outage here in Colerain Township! I don't understand it...I could throw a stone and hit a street light with power. Tomorrow will be day 5 without power. Fortunately, my office was powered today and I was able to grab my laptop with wireless broadband card. My patience has worn thin, but we're getting along okay. Certainly not anything like the original poster has endured.

I feel for you friend. We moved here to Shelby County Tennessee from Mobile Alabama after Katrina. We have been through 10 or so named storms of which, I know for sure 6 were hurricanes and 3 of those were major, cat 3 or better. I hated every minute of it and honestly, after living away from the Gulf Coast now for 3 years, I do not miss it at all.

Hang in there. It does get better but it takes a darn long time. A little bit better each day is about all you can hope for. But, things may never be the same as they were before Ike. Be prepared for that.

We are praying from you all. Hang tough.

I'm glad you made it. I question your sanity for staying, but I'm glad you're safe.

they were just talking about this on the news; if the lines are down to your individual home those are the last to get fixed. Also, a lot of people havent cleaned up enough so crews can get in were they need to be.

I remember after hurricane Ivan we had power out for 5 days (here in Mobile AL).

I remember hearing on radio where a residential area finally had power restored. Then some dunce decided he would cut down a tree, and it fell knocking out power to his residential area again. Power company said they would not come back until they get power up everywhere else.

The dunce was lucky he didn't get tarred and feathered by his neighbors.
