Hurricane IKE (Page 2)

I hope you mean "induced".    Unless she's had so many procedures that they now treat her as a surgical hall of famer.

Congrats!! That will be awesome.  We wish you the best. (So, gonna be at the pool Friday morning.  )

And just so this post is slightly on-topic.... another thread reported that TexasMan is OFF.

It has been postponed until 9/21 according to the Texasmantriathlon.com website

Though a bit frightening, we made it through Ike without much damage.  Our fence is down in the back and we got some rain in the attic but overall we made it through alright.  We lost power around 1 am but we are back on as of 1 pm.  Galveston is a wreck as well as Surfside, Freeport, Clearlake, San Leon, Bacliff and others.  Lots of water and debris.  Our street is full of tree debris but overall not too bad.

I hope all others in this area faired as well.  Take care.

We had three trees come down near our home.  Thankfully nothing HIT our home.  In fact, we still have all of our shingles in place!!

The most damage we had was our outside electric meter.  It got ripped off our exterior wall during the first set of winds that came through.  I went out in the pouring rain and fixed it as much as I could, covering a HUGE hole that exposed our kitchen drywall.  Thankfully our landlord sent someone out on Sunday morning to get it back up and ready for when the electric company comes by to restore power.

As for triathlons, the Rose City Triathlon (Tyler, TX) was supposed to be this past Saturday, but they postponed it for one week.  I'm still planning on being there and having a good time.

HURRICANE IKE RECOVERY UPDATES:

• Power Stabilized at Aquarium Pyramid
• Majority of Animals have survived storm. Some aninmals are being moved to other zoos and aquariums temporarily as we progress with the recovery efforts.
• Employees who are available should report to work on daily shuttles as we work together to get things back in order (details on shuttle listed below)
• Educator Open House postponed until further notice.

We did not have much damage to our house. Some sheet rock got wet in our kitchen and we had several tree limbs in our yard. We faired much better than most of our neighbors. I haven't been able to train for the Hi-Fi. I am not sure it is going to be on or not. I am glad to hear everyone is ok from this storm.
