Hurricane Ike: The Immediate Aftermath - Sat. 13 Sept. 2008

This tree had leaves when it all started.

The storm drain at the end of our street; we had to use our hands to removes the leaves.

Nice and clear now...During the storm the leaves packed up in the drain and thus the street was flooded.

The S.W.A.T. making sure all is well.

A blocked street; this tree took down the high power lines and is one of the source of our power loss.

Anyone for a lamp shade?


Remember the movie "V"?

I thought it was spectacular how this tree split! Was it hit by lightning?
