I lived on the Texas Coast for ten years. In that time, we had a few close calls. To be honest, I thought I was as prepared as anyone could be. Hurricane Ike proved that my hurricane preparedness plans had huge holes in them.
We lived about 20 or so miles North of Houston. The eye of Hurricane Ike passed over our 5 acres. We lost many huge trees but fortunately, none hit our home. Many of your neighbors weren’t as fortunate. We were without power 9 days. You find out real quick where where the holes are in your preparedness plans.
