Hurricane Ike weekend...

My mom came up a day before mandatory evacuations in Brazoria County. We thought we might have lots more houseguests...but some went on to Dallas, while others weathered the storm in Cypress. All in all...everyone's houses turned out ok...just the typical branches and debris. My mom decided to head back on Monday after and stayed the night with friends for most of this week due to no electricity. Today she FINALLY has electricity and she has reported that the AC is on and the fridge is back in business. :)
Here are some pictures during that time:
Much time was spent exactly like this...in front of the weather channel. Mom relinquished our good tv so that Syd could watch cartoons...and she got the little tv.
Mom's dog Picante stayed with us too!
Our back patio after our portion of the storm
one of many branches strewn about.

A video of our windy day...slight rain all day Saturday too.
