Hi i'm still here.boy i tell you my yard and others infact the whole subdivision looks like a warzone...100 trees alone fell in the sub. after 3 days w/o lights i found someone in the neighborhood who had a generator and a small pond in her sunroom so i pulled all the plants out of my pond and got serious about catching the big ones.they were gasping at the top of the water...i caught 3 buckets full then the smallest ones stayed and did o.k. i gave her my biggest koi plus about 10 other goldfish for keeping them alive.plus i waited in line for 1 1/2 hours for gas for her generator.but w/o her they would surely be dead....i have spent 3 days burning limbs and cleaning inside and out and helping neighbors with theres..we all came together ...fed each other and kept each other company for 5 days in the dark and heat....omg was it hot !!!! well now Ike i hope not....well thanks for thinking of me ..i have gotten my fish back minus the ones i said and they are happy...now just waiting for the pond to clear...we had 90+ winds and it was scary.....lorraine

So glad you are OK and able to work out an arrangement to take care of the biggest fish.  Hope the rest of your cleanup/recovery go well.

I'm so relieved that you and our family are fine and that the fish survived too.  90+ winds!! OMG!  Keep an eye on Ike, it's starting to look like he is headed your way too.  It seems that once the 'door' is open, they all go the same way.   I hope not for your sake, you've had enough.   Glad you posted.

Wow, so frightening. I can't imagine the trees falling and thinking they might hit your house.

Glad you made it through the storm, Lorraine.  It's good to hear that you and your neighbors created a good relations during the crisis.  It is so important during times like that. 

[Jonna]

Hang on Lorraine, it looks like Ike is heading your way too!  Sheez!  You guys need a break - not that I'm volunteering to take the next one for the team or anything

Lorraine....  I didn't know you were in Louisiana!  Glad you (and your fish!) are ok!!!  We are down in Lafourche parish and just got power yesterday.   

[lorraine1960]

wow did you and yours do ok though??? i'm glad Ike is taking a dogleg turn..lorraine

[Ruthie]

We are ok...some roof damage and water damage.  Damage to the out buildings (my hen house needs some roof repair) and the pool is demolished.  The fishies made it through alright (we have a generator) but the clean up is going to be a real chore.  ugh.
