Ike is upon us

So Ike is upon us, and it has left its mark. I lost power at my house at 12am on Saturday Sept 13. I couldn't do much but watch tv since there was a curfue out from 8pm til 10am. So I was watching tv when the power went out. I wasn't sure if maybe the electricity was purposely turned off to prevent any permanent damage. So I thought that maybe the electricity would be resolved by morning. But I also saw some green glowing outside my house near a transformer. That didn't seem right. Since I couldn't do anything, I decided to go to sleep hoping that centerpoint would have the problem fixed when I woke up. 10am and still no power, and its been that way all day. No tv and no internet..... can life get any worse. Yeah I know some critic is going to respond back by telling me how bad he had it, so let me clarify for everyone's sake, i'm just kidding. So I spent all day just walking around the house and looking at what damage has been caused by this hurricane. A lot of blown leafs and tree branches, and quite a bit of fallen trees around the neighborhod. No major damage where I live..... thank God. Now it's a matter of when Centerpoint can hurry up and get electricity running through my house again. I don't think its a good image to have on one's self when 93% of its customer's are without power, according to their website. I've heard that downtown has some damage... broken windows and the likes. 93%.... that's jaw-dropping. After spending all day bored out of my mind at home, I decided to come to my cousin's house who lives like 3 minutes away who does have electricity. I also noticed how the street signals outside my house can work but no electricity exists at my house. It's unfortunate for those who have been hit the hardest. I pray for the best for them.

I'll keep you posted on when I get electricity running through my house again.
