This is where we rode out Hurricane Ike. It is our friend Christine's mother who lives here in this house and thankfully she ended up with debris but no serious damage to her home.
The Friday before the storm (the 12th) was really a beautiful day... we took a couple of walks down the street and enjoyed just waiting around before the clouds started to come. This is Christine with Graham!
Even butterflies were out and about!

Going for a crazy ride in the stroller!
Aslan knew where to bunker down for the storm...
Sometime between 7:30 and 8pm on Friday the electricity went out after a gust of wind. I'm not sure of the exact time because I was in the shower when the power went out and had to find my way out! This picture is fairly deceiving because of the flash... it was very dark out at this point and we were all gathered around the radio listening to news about the storm.
The eye of Ike came over where we were staying in the early morning (about 5ish) and it was very calm. I had nightmares about the eyewall coming and crashing through the house (which of course it didn't) so Graham slept in the bathroom all night. These are some pictures from after the sun came up... it rained the rest of the day and was windy.
