Suzy,
I'm so glad you survived Ike, he was a nasty one! I'm sorry for all the
damage, and truly sorry to hear about your daughter.
I will remember you and your family in my prayers. Yes, they *do* work.

Hello everyone!
I'm crosspoting this as I'm wiped out,but wanted to let my many wonderful
online friends know we are all ok!!!!!
Well I can now say I survived IKE!
Boy oh boy!!!!!!!!! I wouldn't suggest anyone "huddle down" in a mobile home
for one
of these horrid storms! Our home surrived the last couple bad
storms as only a few outside problems were here when we returned home....as we
were smart enough to leave before!
I don't think I have ever felt as helpless,hopless and scared as I was during
this storm.We were considering leaving but the thing came up so fast it was to
late and as we sat and wondered if our home/we would survive! I can't describe
the sounds except to say I got truly right with god and am amazed I didn't piss
myself! As the front of the storm passed everything became quiet and as was
said we thought the worst over(we were in the eye)
and we were so tired we relaxed.....
3 hrs later the backend hit....
It was horrid and did the damage.... a 50' tree (thanks be to God!) layed down
behind the house after pelting us and about a football field around us
with branches.....our lemon tree pelted our house with lemons and the tree in
front came down against a window and blocked our front door and the other
sounds I can't even describe....winds sounding as if they would never
stop(around 80 I suspect) threatened to peel our siding and roof to bits.
I learned the difference in gusts and sustained winds!
But praise be the home and we are fine! We had to get the saws out and have a
lot of debis/garbage .... Spent a day cutting and piling and another replacing
skirting and just
got our power back hrs ago but we are lucky and will be fine. I would give
power to mom
and dad if could as they are stuborn to stay and looks like they may be at
least another week.It has been gawsh awfull hot and humid and so we have not
slept much with no power as we just drip sweat all night. We have all the
tv/dvd/radio gadgets,food,water,etc. so besides being how hot it's been we have
been ok.We have gas so I could cook and the only
bad thing after the storm was heat and humidity,but our solar screens bock the
wind...yet they saved our windows from breaking!
Many are hurting so much more and so far their seeing little help here.
But ....
My daughter went into complete renal failure and was in the hospital on
dyalysis
and her lungs were filling with fluid and she was moved to cariac icu
weeks before the storm.She has a genetic disease called McArdels and she
is disabled and has been in the hospital at least a few times a month,but never
had renal failure since 16.
She was in the hospital and doing better after dyalysis 3 times a week
when the storm came in and the hospital called and was discharging her
due to the storm.P'd me off!
She is slowly getting worse and myself and my parents who are 65 and 69
are caring for her and my grandson(2 in oct) need your prayers.
We made it through IKE....but our lifes are an everyday storm.So please....if
you pray....rememeber us.
I have great faith and God has blessed my family and friends
with such great miracles I would spend days to tell them....and I believe with
prayers
all our needs are met.
Anyway....
We survived ike! But I will probably not be online much for awhile because we
have
hospitals and docs appts,etc.
I despite the problems am really enjoying my grandbaby!
I take my daughter to the hosp and the granbaby to his appt,along with helping
mom and dad but I am spending every free moment enjoying Tyler my grandson....
We feed the ducks and visit the horses go to the parks, and spend time at the
lake etc....
and I have to admit...He has cured my online addiction!
I have decided to spend every moment I can with my family at least untill times
are better!
So....Please remember us in your prayers....and I will still definitely be
checking online....
but may not be posting as much at least for awhile>
God bless us everyone!
Suzy

To everyone in the path of this massive storm, please stay safe. Check in when
you can or keep us updated if you are far enough inland that you are safe. The
storm looks terrifying!
Prayers for all in it's path.
