Hurriane Ike Tales, Tails and Videos

From somewhere in SouthEast Louisiana

The MOON OF IKE ~ Over Louisiana

September 11, 2008

2 nights before Ike made landfall in Texas
(The moon makes it's appearance at 1:03)


*note: Tinker Belle howls at the IKE MOON*





A little later that night, the sky cried a bit:

The following day, tropical storm force winds were felt:

The winds howled (much like Tinker Belle) and the windmills turned:

Tinker Belle let her hair down, allowing it to blow freely in the wind, as she ran through puddles of water.


Sandy Ann remained diligent while on sentry duty.

*note: Please try to ignore the cameo appearances of my trash cans and garden hose*




After an afternoon of frolicking in Ike's winds and puddles, it was time to lie on the grass and do some cloud gazing. A beautiful blue sky it was! Complete with white, fluffy clouds floating by:

Early the next morning (September 13, 2008), Ike made landfall in Texas, devasting many areas of Texas and Louisiana's Gulf Coast. Please don't forget the victims of this hurricane.

Some of those videos are amazing, I must say.

I had trouble watching them entirely, so I'm gonna try to watch the rest tomorrow, if my computer doesn't act up.

And I must say sugarplum, I really like your accent ^_^

I'll probably post another comment tomorrow. Take care!

Thank you, Wendy, for that update.

And now, returning to the news...
;)


Thanks for showing us your videos! There must be plenty of fresh air over Louisiana, right now, cause all the old stuff has done been blown clear away!

Aww, at wee Tinker Belle scooting off when the big gust of wind blew through the yard, and Sandy Ann just looking at her all as if, 'What? What's the problem?' =)

I'm not around BigM's much these days. Staying up until 4am, and waking up at 7:30am, wasn't quite working out for me. =)
Gosh, and I did that for nearly a year!
I'm still cruising by some homes every now and then, just to keep in touch with people. I'm so lazy at emails, and mine is a permanent pain in the butt. =)

And I'm off!

Hope you don't have many more big blows coming through any time soon.
Have a great time at Nightwish. =)
