Ike Photo Shoot

While Hurricane Ike was making its way through South Texas, we were stuck in the house all day. I have been wanting to take more pictures of the kids, specifically ones that are more professional looking that give me a chance to use more of my gear. So I’ve uploaded some pics to the gallery, but here are a few of my favorites. (Direct link to gallery below).

The rest of the photos.

Ike

If you live in Texas, you have more than likely been affected by Hurricane Ike.  If you watch Fox News, you have seen the reports on the flooding in other areas too.  Lots of people without power in the Houston area, but more dramatically, lots of people without homes.

I am about 99% sure my best friend Amanda lost her house in the storm.  (Her house was on the ground, on Bolivar Island.)  She just moved down to the coast recently to begin her life after college.  Now, well…  I told her the other day it’s just stuff.  But now I’m mourning the loss of her “stuff”, because I can’t imagine if my house were swept away in the flood waters.

The hard part about this hurricane is the effects are not yet over.  Clean-up is beginning and I am confident the death toll will be better than with Katrina, mostly because a lot more people evacuated.  Please keep the people affected by this hurricane in your prayers.

***Update: Amanda sent me an email yesterday and her house IS in fact gone.  Every house belonging to her family in that area has been swept away.  But she has the best outlook on things and is so thankful to be alive.  From her email – “As my grandfather said, it was His to give and take and he decided to take. We came into this world without anything and we leave without anything, so I guess what does it really matter what we have in the middle?” I am so grateful she is so strong and I am thankful to have her as my friend.
