Hurricane Ike- a thread to post status on recovery

[srmom]

Yay Yay Hip Hip Hooray!!!

We got our power back - late Wednesday night!!!!!

I spent all day yesterday taking my generator down to my dad's and hooking him up. My husband painstakingly wired them up and taped all cords down so they now have a TV, a DVD player, a few lights and a microwave!!! Just a few electric items makes life so much more palatable, and it made my dad and his wife so happy

That list above is so totally true, hilarious and pathetic at the same time!!

We all need to remember our neighbors and how friendly we were during the storm.

I'm all for the Greek Fest - the food is amazing!!

Yeah, ELECTRICITY!

One of my students was told he might not have power until NOVEMBER because some part they need has to be cast or manufactured or brought from Mars.

As to ICE - it seems FEMA has trailers full of it, melting away, along with food and water that is NOT being delivered to those who need it (especially in Galveston and the surrounding area).

On the plus side, my big sis who lives in Kemah had NO damage - amazing.

Just wanted to let you Houstonites (or is it Houstonians?) know that you will be getting your grey squirrels back soon. Got a huge shipment in a couple of weeks ago (baby grey squirrels) and have been raising them (I have 4 living with me but that is just a drop in the bucket so to speak). They have such personality.

I'm sure all the Houston AGDs are relieved!
