Weathering the Storm

We are 1 of 300,000 homes in Kentucky and Southern Indiana and 1.5 million in the midwest region who lost power Sunday. Hurricane Ike caused a windstorm that hit the midwest late morning Sunday and lasted all afternoon. Winds blew at speeds of around 50 mph with gusts up to 75 mph. As of tonight our power has been out for almost 36 hours. We are blessed to have great friends who have power that we are staying with, as we hope and pray our power is restored. They are saying it could be up to two weeks before they finish restoring the power.
We are grateful that we were kept safe from the storm and our home was not damaged. We know there are many both here and in Texas who were not so fortunate.
