We have been without power since Monday when the hurricane came through.
It was horrible.
The wind was so fierce and our house was shaking all night.
We knew something was going on with the roof, we just couldn't find out until morning.
Part of the shingles blew off and part of the siding.
We do have water damage inside our bedroom.
Also, on our back porch, the ceiling is coming down, but that shouldn't be too hard to fix.
Here is a photo of my Colonel and son trying to get a tarp nailed down to the roof
to keep the rain from doing any further damage...
I'm at the university where my hubby works tonight to shower and finally get on line.
The house is getting cold, about 50 degrees during the day.
We expect to be without power for another 2 - 3 days.
I hope you all are doing okay!
Let me know how you all are doing.
I'll try to be back as soon as the power returns.
April says
So thankful to know that you're alright, but so sorry to hear that you're without power and that your house sustained damage. You and your family are close in my thoughts and prayers.

Lois, Texans hold you all in our thoughts and prayers. We are familiar with hurricanes and can certainly sympathize with you. Many of us can't travel to help out there, so we send our money, utility workers, food trucks, etc. to help our fellow Americans in your time of trouble. Praying for you on the East Coast...
