A Storm Called IKE

Well, the storm is finally over. As you can see from the photos, we had a big tree on the house. Tree is gone and all the junk in the yard cleaned up by the tree people. A small leak on the bathroom ceiling and maybe a small hole in roof. We lost a lot of shingles, but have not inspected the roof. We lost power at 7:15pm on Friday and it came back on Tuesday (yesterday) around 5:00pm. Between Salters Shelter, Williams on the River, and Mike's Restaurant we were able to survive. We were lucky to have almost continual phone service from our land line, but the cell phones were not working good. We could get calls on both services, but calling out was not always successfull.

Woah, the tree made a hole in the roof when it fell off? Hmm, you must have had the roof immediately replaced and fixed, and plugged the leak in the ceiling. In any case, your house must have been enduring the storms ever since.
