We got Ike'd!

Yes indeed! Boy did Houston get hit nicely or what?

First of all, my heart goes all to each and every person who was tragically affected by Hurricane Ike. Personally, I have to count my blessings and thank God that we were spared from any serious damage. I hope and pray that all those affected will find the strength and hope to recover and move on!

As a result of Hurricane Ike, we were without power as of Friday, September 12th (aka Ike's visit) beginning at 9:40 p.m. up until just yesterday, Friday, September 19th at around 6:30 p.m. I do apologize for any delays to each and every one of my customers. We are in full swing now and happily ready to resume normal business hours.

I leave you with some phenomenal shots of Hurricane Ike.

This image provided by NOAA shows Category 2 Hurricane Ike in the Gulf of Mexico at 11:32 p.m. EDT Wednesday Sept. 10, 2008. At 11 p.m. EDT Hurricane Ike had maximum sustained winds of 100 mph with higher gusts and was located about 675 east of Brownsville Texas moving to the northwest at 7 mph. Drawing energy from the warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico, the strengthening storm was expected to blow ashore early Saturday somewhere between Corpus Christi and Houston, with some forecasts saying it could become a fearsome Category 4, with winds of at least 131 mph.
