Well, thanks to those of you who have been praying. Yesterday around 4pm, the "fun" began. We were watching the Weather Channel and saw that there were strong winds headed our way (north eastern Ohio) which were the aftermath of Ike. Yes, in Ohio. What we also learned is that thankfully there was a hot air system in place which prevented the aftermath from causing tornadoes throughout the mid-west (as opposed to cold air). It was eerily hot the last few days and incredibly humid but not rainy yesterday. We heard the wind getting crazier and crazier outside and began to see branches fly off of the trees around our house. Being from the south, we went outside to enjoy the power of the storm (sounds crazy, but there's something very awe-inspiring watching a big storm like that). While we were collecting a few of the small branches from willow trees by our house, a large branch cracked on a bigger tree right beside our house (just 5 ft. from our kitchen window). Then the wind kicked up and blew our WOODEN patio furniture around, so we rushed inside. We prayed and anxiously waited while we could actually feel our house tremble a little. Around midnight, we went back out to see the damage, the wind had died down for about 30 minutes. While many branches on the ground, trees stripped, there was no damage to our house, car, the fence, or our landlords property. Thank the Lord! There were more downed branches this morning as we woke up, though nothing touching the houses or cars. Today is really nice weather and we've taken the opportunity not only to clean up the mess, but to start getting the shrubbery around the house cleaned up a little.
