“I expected the surge because that storm looked like Ike that came into Texas. :(”
Yes, it was like Ike in that it was so large. I thought the blowing high winds of Ike would never stop and I’ve been in hurricanes before. Ike blew water through a very solid locked window. Didn’t know it until I saw water on the stone floor under that window in the kitchen.
We were without power for over two weeks, after Ike. Not fun! I left town, with the kids, while hubby held down the fort with the (small) generator we had, at the time.
