Hurricane Ike

Well the past 10 days have been pretty normal for me. Of course the power was out, but my brother had bought a generator about the first day the lights went out. I wasnt in the city when the power went out though, me and some of my family went to Fort Worth Dallas, and stayed at a Howard Johnson late Friday night. We stayed there till the morning on Sunday.
When we got home, there was a loud noise in the garage, and it turned out to be the generator I mentioned. Since we had the generator we were able to plug in some fans, so we werent as hot as some of the other people without power. We also had some of the luxuries people were probably aching for during the power outage, T.V, Computer, etc. I guess were we lucky my brother bought it.
The only thing that sucked, well not for me, was getting gas for the generator, apparently there was a 30~1hour wait in line before you actually got to the pump, on top of that the gas stations that were actually open and had gas were not so close by. The generator lasts a while though. If its full it lasts about 8 hours. Luckily our house wasnt damaged at all, a few limbs from trees fell here and there, but nothing major.

The only good thing I guess would be that I was able to read my book for English that I was supposed to read for the summer. Also no school for a little over a week, got to catch some Z's as if it was some random vacation. So thanks Ike. =]
