[Loch-soilleir] Loch-Soilleir Digest, Vol 29, Issue 15

Mon Sep 15 17:37:33 PDT 2008

Power came back at my house a half hour or so ago.  

My place is in reasonably good shape.  Fence is trashed.  I lost a bunch of shingles and got water dripping through the ceiling where the shingles were gone (more from the rain storm Sunday morning than from Ike proper).  Had to throw out some of the carpet upstairs because of too much water.  Our neighborhood is only a few years old, so no big trees to fall.  

Alexis and his crew are fine.  They took on alot of water.  One side of the house was a nice decorative waterfall.  He's got a generator going for power.

Rhi and the boys are in Austin, vacationing and eating my mexican food.

Hope everyone else is safe and dry,
Cael
