Hurricane Ike wasn't all that bad for my first Hurricane. I remeber going to sleep real early so i can sleep through it but that didnt happen because our lights went out about three thirty in the morning. I can remeber hearing hard strong winds and stuff flying around i just couldnt belive all of this was just happening in front of my eyes . So about a couple of hours later it stoped for good so i took a step outside to see what kind of damage done due to the hurricane . Tree's, brick walls, carports all over the place . I was thinking if all this happened in one little place just imagine what happend all over Houston. I was so frustrated for a couple days because there was no lights so i couldnt watch my tv shows or listen to my music . My mom told me well its good that we don t have any power because it teaches me to appreciate the things i have. Well eventually we all decided to get a generator but it was a waste of money because two hours later our electricity cut back on but for my first Hurricane i survived!!!!
