We Survived Ike!!

Well, thank God -Hurricane Ike is over for the Guntle family - and what feels like a split second, life is suddenly "back to normal". We were spared by this hurricane as it traveled more towards the east than expected. We were impacted by heavy wind and rain by the outer bands, but it still did not create the kind of damage we were anticipating. We never lost power, though Nathan's aunt and uncle who live 1/4 mile behind us lost power and still do not have any!!!

Though we do have some roof damage, we are just so grateful for the prayers that went out on our behalf by all our family and friends! It made a HUGE difference! Here are some photos for you to view:

BEFORE


Our makeshift "Kennel" for our outdoor guard dogs


Jack & Winston - doggie troopers

Mommy & Jonathan checking things out before curfew

Wild wind = wild hair!

AFTER

Jack is done! He wants out!!


Some damage to the roof of our shed


Baby's swing tossed

The inside of our shed - the shingles ripped off and water was leaking in.

Nathan, in the pouring rain, putting a tarp over the hole on the shed.

Our front yard - minor tree limbs down

Glad to hear all is well with you and yours. We were praying for you. I will talk to you soon and we'll catch up.
