The pool was a receptacle for junk and no I haven't cleaned it out yet. It is going to take some time. The picture is a tad bit deceiving, but there is thick debris on the bottom, trust me!
Looking out the front door to the neighbors you can see someone lost a tree and someone else got lucky that it just missed their house!
This picture is a typical sight in the neighborhood.
This is another lucky neighbor that escaped severe damage. The tree covered the entire road for most of the morning. The interesting part of this picture is that you can notice the tree does not have many roots and the roots that are present are small. I am sure there is a lesson in this somewhere...
Well, this fence was leaning to start with and as you can see it did not bode well for it during the storm. I am sure there is a lesson in this also...
Let's recap: IKE hit at Midnight on Sept 12 and we lost power at 2:30 AM. We regained power at 7:00 PM on Sept 14. We are now busying cleaning the debris from all the crevasses. Later,
Brendan & Karla

Hi Karla!
Glad you didn't have too much damage to the place. It helps not to have too many big trees. We're at www.k4blogspot.blogspot.com. I posted a few picts. of the damage around here. Luckily our place is in tact and we have power. If you need a place to cool off, come see us!:)--Traci K.
Seems you were as fortunate as we were...no damage to home or property. Only downer was we were without power from late Friday evening until Wednesday night. Chuck and Teresa got their power restored late Sunday morning and invited us to stay with them until we got our power back. We sure did appreciate their kindness. Glad to see y'all didn't suffer too much damage either.
Been a while since we've seen you...hope you're both doing well. October is a busy month with the conventions.
You've been tagged...see my blog for more info on what to do. This is totally voluntary, but it is fun to see what others write.
