Weather Weather Weather!

I guess we got a bit of Ike winds up here in Ohio last night. I had to give my friend Melinda a ride to her car and it was a little windy when we left. About an hour later I got home and it was pretty windy but still not horrible. I got home and Del was in the front yard flying a kite with Sydnee. Our neighbors came and and asked us what in the world we were doing out in the Wizard of Oz weather! I think she thought we were crazy. It got worse so we decided to go in and get dinner going. Luckily we were bbq-ing and our stove is gas because we lost power and had a nice candlelit dinner minus the nice table set up. (it's hard to see what you are even putting on your burger without much light) The wind kept howling and it was raining leaves. We have them everywhere and big branches were flying everywhere. I can't imagine being in a real tropical storm or hurricane! The power finally came back on and we thought all was well until I read my email this morning and realized Carli's school is canceled because of roof damage. Crazy stuff! This is probably the first of many weather related posts.
