The Hurricane Chronicles: Day Two

Written: 9-14-08 (2nd in a 6- part series) Typed: 9-21-08

Two days, after the hurricane, a Sunday, was a very different story. During the night, as we slept, our power went out again! Fact is, I would've slept right through if it hadn't been been for a thunderstorm which, somehow damaged the transistor that controls the power for a for a small portion of our neighborhood. Just my neighborhood. Terrific. Score one for the Energizer Bunny! So my family and I decided to get in the car and go look see how the surrounding cities had fared. It wasn't a pretty sight. There wasn't nary a building that didn't incur some sort of damage from framing to bricks, roof tiles, and some, complete destruction. Before we lost power last night, we saw Reliant Stadium with it's outer strips protecticting the roof, totally hanging in shreds. I've been praying for all those that 've been hurt, and who help in the recovery see the hand of God through this.
