Norm Kaatz sends news of Hurricane Ike.

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

We just had a large hurricane come through the Gulf coast area where I live, with a large amount of destruction, and lose of life both human and animal.  Galveston and coastal areas just north of there were completely destroyed.  My place only lost branches from trees, one piece of siding, electricity, and, since we are get our water from a well, no water.  Good thing we have a pond to dip water from.

Our expectant return of electrical power will be up to 3 more weeks.  The last storm of significance was 25 years ago and it took 3 weeks then.  This storm was by far worse than the one 25 years ago.  It was a huge storm with an eye of 60 miles across, normally 6 or 8 miles across.  I am adding a site  where you will be able to view pictures of the area sent in by people of the damage.  http://www.myfoxhouston.com/myfox/ and look for the reference to photos.   Also there might be something on another news station you might try, and the station should be—-  www.khou.com Keep us here in the Houston area in your thoughts, and prayers.
