The storm didn't last too long on Monday, and we were able to make our way back home from our shelter at the church. We did return to some limbs in the yard, power out, and generators buzzing all over the neighborhood, but overall our town was spared the brunt of Gustav. These trees down were between the church and our house.
We worked in our own yard clearing the branches and leaves, then sat outside and enjoyed lunch while the remnant breeze was blowing.
Now, 4 days later, almost everyone in town has power. The stores are mostly up and running. Several fast food places are open, and school will begin again come Monday morning.
Life is back to normal for us. Normal does mean re-stocking up on the hurricane supplies, watching the weather channel on a regular basis, and following the National Hurricane website to see what Ike is up to.
