60 Hours - 2 nights, it's going to get ugly.

45. I was without power with Ike for 2 weeks, it was September but still hot.

After about 3 days we were told it might take a week or even two before the power came back.

If you don't have power you don't have it, you work around it.

We helped each other, had cookouts at night.

Neighbors who didn't know each other became friends.

It wasn't so bad, it was a time to slow down.

I stopped missing the internet and tv.

We set around and talked to each other, it was nice.

Houston is a spread out place, driving was fun.

All lights were treated like 4 way stops, it was a adventure.

Gas was hard to find, a lot of gas stations had no power.

I looked at it as a 2 week vaction, time just slowed down.

I lost two friend that lived next to our beach house, they didn't leave for some reason.

The lights will come back, things will get better.

I am just glad we have Presdient Obama in charge, it could be worse.
