Life After Ike

We fared well through Ike. Only minor damage to the house. However, we don't have power at the moment so I am publishing this post from the kid's computer hooked up to a generator. I won't turn on my main photo processing computer until we have stable clean power back at the house.

A photo journalist friend of mind was able to get me past the roadblock to visit Surfside beach this afternoon to check out the folks that were really hit by this storm. Some major damage down there. Some of the houses look fairly good but others were either fallen over or missing all together. Sobering.





We spoke to many of the local residents and I was happy to see that the storm has not crushed their spirits. They are working hard to clean up their town and bring life back to as close to normal as they can.
