Safe and Sound

Hurrican Ike has passed and my son and his family in Houston are safe and sound. There were a lot of trees down in their neighborfood and some damage to homes, but they received no damage at all. The main concern now is that they are among the over 3 million people who have no power. Thank you all so much for your kind comments and your prayers.

  1. Hi Rhondi,
    Our power was off all day yesterday for some reason, I feel blessed that it came back on at 5PM. I have lived in Fl and I know how long it can take to restore power and gas and food in a hurricane devastated area.

    My son lives in College Station about 120 miles Houston..so far they are fine too and still have power.
    Hugs,

  7. Glad your bunch made it through, and I hope their power is restored quickly. I know the power company sent people from all over in that direction even before Ike made landfall. I spoke with a lady in the store the other day who said her hubby works for the power company, and she probably won't see him for at least 3 weeks, before he gets a break to come back home.

  12. So glad to hear you family weathered the storm. My son lives in Conroe, around 80 miles north of Houston. They also are without power, and have a lot of downed trees in their neighborhood, but God is good and kept them safe.

    I am so happy to hear your family are ok. My Grandson, Jason, went to Houston for his Dad's funeral and is suppose to return to NC today. I bet he is not going to get out easily. Those poor people have a lot of cleaning up ahead of them. Rest easier now.

  18. I'm so happy that you son and his family had no problems. It does stink to be without power, but hopefully it will come on soon. I remember when we had no power after Hurricanes Frances and Jean. The one good thing about that was that it really brought you closer to your neighbors. I do hope their power comes on soon though, because cold showers and candlelight gets old.

  19. I'm so glad to hear that your family is safe. It is hard for us to comprehend these storms, one after the other. You must be relieved to know that it is over. Now they just have to get through the aftermath.

    I've just watched the late news from Galveston - too, too sad for all those who have lost their homes.

  24. Rhondi, of course I don't mind you copying the white pumpkins! That wasn't my original idea either...I stole it from Better Homes & Gardens. We all just pass these things around. Let me know if you do a version too!
