Hurricanes Gustav and Ike

I haven't given any updates at all since I began my work in LA since April, but I thought that this was worth sharing. The past few days have been a real wake up call to the reality of mother nature and her wrath. We, those of us in Texas and Arkansas, may not understand the havoc that a hurricane can create in your life. I hope we will all remember to pray for those in south Texas and Louisiana for their safety and future as they are beaten by these storms. You may not realize how far reaching one of these storms can be, but Ike who hit at Galveston last night and today knocked out the power at my RV park on Thursday night with high winds and rain as it knocked down another tree. Thats a 5 hour drive away from where I am at and I still felt the effects. Here are only a few of the pics that I will share with you.


This mobile home is next door to my RV park





This is a LARGE root ball


This tree is about 4 ft in diameter and the last trailer in the back with the blue around the bottom is mine. Maybe 40 yards away.


These three are on the same road that I am staying on








This trailer is in the RV park I am staying in



This is at a near by park


The first time I drove by the tree was still there and you couldnt see the white car at all


I counted about 15 large trees that were down in this one yard
