Hurricane Ike Evacuees

As Hurricane Ike approached the Texas Coastline, Zac and I took in some evacuees. They included my mom, dad, brother, and a chihuahua named Roxie. Zac's parents took in my brother's dog, Bandit.

Our family was very lucky. They had minimal damage when compared to others. The seawall in Texas City did it's job and protected the town from the storm surge. Our home had some wind damage including a downed fence and tree, outside fan destroyed, roof damage and upturned flower beds. Where the roof was damaged, water got in my brother's bedroom. They will have to rip out the sheet-rock and re-do. We are very thankful!
