It seemed to last forever! I am glad your house held up. You guys are so lucky yal had power back up so soon after. We are one of very few houses in our neighborhood who have power. We feel a little guilty. We got it back the day before yesterday. None of my family or friends have it yet. Our house has never seen so many people! You're right....it does feel like one long sleepover. It is amazing how things like this can bring everyone together. It is the one good thing that comes from storms like "Ike". I just feel so lucky to have gotten thru it with such little damage. Seeing Galveston puts everything in perspective. My parents have a house on the bay there and it's a mess!
