Ya know, I think that stinker Ike held the water and let it loose after he left Texas. It’s amazing that he’s still going that strong. I mean at our house we may have seen 95-100 mph winds for the worst part but he’s still packing almost half of that. Unreal. You just never know about hurricanes. They can be so unpredictable.
The problem is Ike and another large storm joined forces over Missouri and Illinois and off they went together towards the Northeast. I think it up in northeast Canada now.
Large numbers of these people won't get power back until this weekend. The local power company had sent many of their work crews to help in TX and LA. Of course these crews are now high tailing it back home.
Local weather guys are calling Ike a hundred year weather event for this area. I know in my 50 years I've never seen anything like it.
