I miss Nancy coming to the board!
She told me that Hurricane Ike hit her town and they still do have problems with electricity and internet ! Let´s hope that soon everything will be working again.
to make Nancy come back here I had the idea of posting messages for her, so she can see that we all do miss her!
What do you think?

She is doing alright !!! Nothing happened to her, but the town must be a mess ... I only heard that Ike hit Texas, but they never mentioned Kentucky on the news ... she says that usually they only do get a lot of rain but this time they also got the wind and that was blowing everything away!
Hurricane Ike, although no longer a hurricane, proved it is still a formidable storm when it hit Louisville, Kentucky earlier today. With wind gust up to 75 mph, Ike blew down numerous trees around town, collapsed a building under construction at the International Airport and forced the closure to two major highways.
The main Utility Provider in the Metro Louisville area, Louisville Gas & Electric, has said that 50% of their customers are without power and will be so for a few days. In downtown Louisville, many office building had their windows blown out, including the headquarters for Humana.
When I read the local paper, The Courier Journal, this afternoon it said that the local authorities were asking people to stay off the roads due to the numerous trees laying on the roadways.
The local weather forecasters had predicted that Ike would drop a lot of rain, but never expected these winds. Ironically, Louisville received no rain.....

still not everything is working ...
told Nancy to come to the board - if she has a chance to. She has computer access at work though. Think that it´s still kind of chaotic, so she can´t check out the board right now ...

I'm back :D
Sorry for the "long delay" anymore I can't seem to find time for any of the pleasures I once had.
I surivived the storm - it was quite unexpected - they said we could have some weather from it but they were not ready for the 75+ mph winds. The city is still torn up in places - there are still some without electricity.
To recap - the 14th (Sunday) morning it was a little on the windy side and felt good - (9:00 am) by 12:30 though it was terrible. I was taking a nap and heard a loud bang and when I went to look out my rocker had flipped off the deck onto the ground and had broken. I literally watched my neighbours tree come down across their driveway and then watched as big branches blew down the road. Several of my neighours lost trees and I lost a bunch of dead limbs and some not so dead limbs. Trying to hold onto the door was impossible. I stood out on the deck for a bit because Cheddar had come out with me - Snoopy stayed in) and I was trying to get him to come back in. Around 4 I was out picking up branches and putting them up by the front of the fence. It was erie to watch the trees blow. I also got hit by flying leaves and branches - my back yard looked terrible. Talk about "wind whipped hair". All the neighours pulled together however and after the storm, got out their chain saws and chippers so Monday I had a nice area of mulch by my fence. Keri tried to take photos while going into work/school on Tuesday - I'll post some of them - or try to.
We only lost power for like 5 minutes but our land lines and cell phones were out as well as the internet - it's still out so I have to get online at work.
The next day U of L had power so they wanted all of us to come in - course Tue & Wed we were on delayed schedule - I don't think they realized Sunday just how bad it was. Coming in that morning there were only 2 working lights - I live 20 miles away from the school now. HAd to take 4 detours, by Friday there were only 2 lights that were not working, but still the power is all messed up - this morning the chipper trucks were on Southern Parkway getting ride of all the limbs/trees. You would think a toronado came through. I made a call to Cingular and she asked me why so many towers were down - I asked her "Mam where are you at" and she said "Orlando, FL", I said "well mam I'm in Louisville, KY and Ike came barreling through here yesterday, so that is most likely why a lot of towers are down" she didn't know. Indiana got hit hard and the schools here in Jefferson County were out the whole week as some where without power and some had lost roofs and the poor kids will have to make up the time.
Normally when a hurricane comes up the gulf coast - we get some rain but this time - wow. We think because there was a low pressure system coming down from the north and it collided with the reminents of Ike that's what caused all the wind - but it was bad - fortunately there was only 1 death associated with Ike here and this guy was from out of town - he was helping repair some wires - see most of our trucks went down to Galvaston, but we had some outside help until the got back here. Theysaid he was up in a bucket and apparently came in contact with a live wire. I had to drive several times under wires that had bit tree branches tangled up in them - but they didn't come down.
All in all everyone fared well - except for the electricity. Some were complaining and I told them "at least you have a home you can go do, those poor people in Galvaston lost everything" be thankful that we did not. Food can be replaced and electricity will come back on - but to have to replace a home and everything thing in it...too on the other hand if you choose to build on the coast - that is the risks you take.
I'm just glad it's all said and done. I'll also try and post a few photos of me too. If I have many problems, I'll send them to Anne and she can post them for me.
Be talking to ya later

Well would you believe some just got their power restored yesterday? There is still a lot of debris all over but it's piled up in places. At least all the traffic lights are working now.
I've got to get those storm photos up. Will do that in a few.
Re: Nancy
enelya06 - 26.09.2008, 19:48

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that Nancy, I had no idea!! It's probably a good thing that I don't have time to watch the news anymore - it's nothing but bad news these days!
BTW, it's really nice to see you posting on the board again!!
