Hurrican Ike

We thought we were going to have evacuate for Hurricane Ike but since it shifted up to Houston we didn't even get wind and maybe a little rain. Our beaches though just from high tide were gone there wasn't even a beach so there was minor flooding just from that and that was before it had even rained. Houston got slammed though my parents and grandparents and aunt and uncle's house all had some damage. At my Mom and Dad's house they lost their whole fence and had a little bit of flooding minor I think though. My brother stayed at my Mom's house through the hurricane and I don't think he has ever been so scared he said the house was just shaking and the wind had this evil howling like he had never heard before which is a given with a 110 mile an hour winds. We are trying to play catch up with our homework so we have been pretty busy we have our first test in economics this weekend so wish us luck.
