MMM--hot dogs and s'mores for dinner!
Sunday, September 14 We knew some remnants of Hurricane Ike were heading our
way--but we expected a lot of rain and got a lot of wind instead. We had gusts up to 80 miles an hour with sustained winds at 40-50 mph. It started at about 1 PM and by around 2:30 we lost all our power. We were without power until Monday about midnight. It was really fun the first night and day--flashlights, candles, roasting hot dogs and marshmallows at the fire pit.
But we were pretty happy when the lights came on again. Of course, when the lights came on, then we lost phones and computer! But we got everything back by Tuesday night. There were some people in our area that were without any power for a full week. The kids were out of school until Thursday!
