In case you were wondering…we’re still here. All day today we’ve felt the winds off of Hurrican Ike. Winds from 40-70 mph hammered the Louisville and surrounding areas. No rain…just wind. There were trees down everywhere as well as powerlines and fences. Some people even lost parts of their houses, like shingles, siding and gutters. We lost a lot of limbs from our trees and shingles from the side of the house but that was the worst of our damage. My parents, on the other hand, faired somewhatly worse. They lost power at around 1 pm today and just got word that it could take up to a week for them to get it back. Yuck. Most of Charlestown, Sellersburg, Jeffersonville, Clarksville and Louisville is without power and will be for anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks, depending on the amount of damage to the powerlines. Thankfully the winds have finally died down and we can now start our clean up process.
More updates later.
