Ike hits Mo.









On Sunday morning we awoke to stong winds, limbs in the yard and no electicity. Church was canceled due to the electicity problem. Stong winds continues most of the morning. You can see from the pictures the limbs that blew down in Mom's yard. The other house only had about 5 limbs in the yard. We were lucky. A couple of houses had trees blown over on them. Laura was a big help in cleaning up.


Our neighbor used his chain saw to cut some of the limbs that had split but were still connected to the trees. Neighbors were helping each other. It was gratifying to see how everyone was helping each other. The city did a good job of clearing limbs from the streets.
Our electricity was off until late afternoon and our cable was off even longer. You don't realize how much you depend on electricity until you don't have it. Things are getting back to normal today even though school all around us are closed.
These are all pictures of Mom's yard.
