Glad to see that you road out the storm, OK,  & sorry about WF.

After Ike was through with you,  the winds (75MPH gusts) of Ike came to 
Louisville KY and
did a number on us, ( no rain, Just 4 hours of no stop winds) we got power 
back after
4 days on the generator, the rest of the county took 11 days, Thanks to the 
hard work of
over 1100  very overworked utility  crews.
 I've worn out the chainsaw and my shoulders & arms. Had to cut two trees
out of the road to get to one daughters house, county crew removed one tree 
to get to
 the others place.
 Tree behind the my garage ALMOST took out my neighbors race car trailer. 
got caught
in a fork within feet  of its roof. still waiting for the tree guy with his 
crane to remove the
rest of the tree, too big for me .
 the guy down the road  lost his new motorcycle trailer.

 But like you, we were lucky..  no major damage and NO injuries to family.

  Luck to all at WF...

                                                   John & Brenda
