Ike visited almost a week ago... a week ago (Sept 12th) kids were out of school, Gene was out of work and we were all preparing to "hunker down". A week later, kids are still out of school (as the majority of Atascocita does not currently have power), Gene's back at work (his downtown office never lost power) and we're helping with the mess that Ike left behind. Our yard debris is cleaned up and waiting for the solid waste folks to come and get it. Conrad, Karen and Gene have all helped in debris removal and Conrad even helped at the Humble POD (Point of Distribution for ice, water and MREs) most of the day yesterday. He was planning on going back today, but the Humble POD closed this morning.
School won't be up and running until Thursday, September 25th. The date for school reopening fluctuates almost daily as most of our district waits for power to the campuses.
The Houston Temple is closed, our Cub Activity Day was cancelled and lots of lives are just in survival mode without power. Sounds like we'll have Church on Sunday even if we don't have power... it will be good to see ward members and see how everyone has been doing.
