Ike update

We were very lucky during the storm. Started feeling the effects around Saturday morning at 3am then lost power at 4:45am. Power came back on around noon then lost phones and water pressure which came back later that night. Many neighborhoods around us are still without power. Attached some pictures from around my husbands dad’s house who lives 10 minutes away from us. We were under curfew until 2pm yesterday so couldn’t get out. Only damage in our neighborhood was a blown over stop sign and some down signal lights and some trees pushed over that were newly planted. Overall our rain gage got 2.25 inches from the storm and overnight we had gotten another 3 inches from the cold front that came through.
