Power is finally back on at the church after 10 days without, following our assignation with a certain Ike, as in 'Hurricane Ike.'
Not too much damage, compared to others, but the carpet got wet in the sanctuary, and some of it will have to come up. Lots of trees down also, and damage to shingles. At least we didn't get a nine foot surge, unlike the people in Galveston. We can put up with a little wind. 
It did, however, take two and a half days of solid work to clear our yard. Lake Jackson still looks like a war zone, and many people are still without electricity. Some don't have water either. makes you appreciate what you do have, or at least it should.
