9.12.08 Hurricane Ike & The Woodlands - Before & After 9.13.08
|
Our home was not damaged. Only the back fence was hit by a neighbors tree, and we rightly are thankful it was no worse for us. Our weather station on the chimney recorded sustained winds of 108 mph with gusts to 140 mph
before being lost to debris at 5:50 am. The barometer at that moment was down to 956 mmHg. Ike made landfall with sustained winds topping 113 mph and a low pressure of 952 mmHg. No power for 5 days. 11kw worth of
generator made things a bit nicer than it otherwise would have been. A cold front the day after Ike and nights in the 50's the week after Ike were Heaven sent.
