But Caleb is keeping a big secret of his own. And when Miranda discovers the cruel truth, she can’t ever return to his bed. Not even for the most earth-shaking sex she’s ever experienced….

I DID NOT like Ike. Bad bad blind date.
Here’s the scene from my neck of the woods

Ok that’s funny on when you are ending the contest. Ike didn’t do anything to Austin… other than not enough rain.sigh. Sorry for all my friends on the coast and further up though.
I watched the coverage of Ike on the news. How scary! Glad he’s passed by now.
I followed all your twits befor and after Ike. I was so glad you guys fared so well.
Been hearing awful things about it.
We got the tail end of Ike clear up here in Northern Ohio. I’ve got a tree that cracked from the high winds and just missed the back of the house when it came down.

Hi Alison,
Loved the twitter commentary & the pictures. Even had the hubby checking in with you all. I’m gonna post a link to some extraordinary photos that said hubby found: http://www.boston.com/bigpicture/2008/09/the_short_but_eventful_life_of.html
They truly are amazing but I liked your comments about the extension cords=neighbors helping neighbors!
Best wishes to you & yours,

My best friend is currently without power in her area. Everyone has pitched in to help in a rare community-come-together spirit.
For so many of my friends their homes were destroyed, parts of the structure unlivable, and food/generators are scarce.
There are a lot of generators on ebay being sold…
Please don’t put me in your contest. Alison’s an autobuy for me.
The rain made for good sleeping weather.
Living on the East Coast the most we deal with is a bad nor’easter, so I can’t even begin to imagine what you went through. I’m glad you fared well, compared to so many others we read about.
Hopefully power will return soon–my parents live in The Woodlands, and they got it back a few days ago, weeks ahead of when they expected it!
Ike definitely took a chunk out of the coast though. Poor Galveston. I hope FEMA does better helping them than it did NOLA and Mississippi residents in ‘05!
Ike dumped nearly 6 inches of ran on us and caused massive flooding..and I live in St. Louis! I used to think that living in the midwest meant all we had to worry about were tornados…
Ike didn’t do anything in my part of the country, but in sympathy for everyone else in his path, I don’t like Ike either!
We live in Minnesota and while Ike did not affect us, I followed the events on the news; it was awful to watch the devastation in Galveston, Houston and surrounding areas and unbelievable to find the huge amounts of rain Ike caused as far North as Chicago causing massive flooding. You could hardly recognize some of the areas in Texas from all the debris and tell that there were actually homes there at one time. How in a matter of hours so many lives were changed or even, sadly, lost. We vacation outside of McAllen, Texas, as often as we can and, fortunately, our friends there had no damage from Ike. Our prayers and thoughts are with everyone that was affected by Ike and we hope for a speedy recovery from this horrific event.
We experienced Ike secondhand in Ohio, although he thumbed his nose all the way through and the effects were plenty severe. Still hundreds of thousands w/out power and varying degrees of property and structural damage. Still, compared to the devastation in Texas, this is simply an inconvenience for us and we’re keeping everyone in our thoughts and prayers.
I’m so sorry about the damage Ike’s caused! Didn’t we have a president named Ike? (Obviously history’s not my strong suit!) Hoping everyone gets power restored soon! Take care!
Glad to be far away from Ike and my thoughts go out to all who have endured it!
I can’t believe that in some places power won’t be back on for at least a month.
I live in Southern Indiana and have been without power since Sunday evening. It finally came back on Thursday night. We had a wind storm, glad that was all.
Hurricane Ike has affected people I know online, with some people still out of power. Here where I live, it’s earthquakes that we deal with.
ike not like . fires over here still.
I spent all Friday night to early Saturday morning watch the Weather Channel’s coverage of Ike. I couldn’t believe how horrible it was, especially the wind readings one of the meteorologists got while on Galveston Island just before the eye passed over his location. It was hard for me to actually go to bed because I didn’t want to stop watching until Ike had moved on past Houston.
I learned what it was like to go without power. Our whole town was without power for almost a week. I feel sorry for those who have to go longer.
Ike was so powerful and I couldn’t believe all it had done.
Thanks,
Dina
Ike brought a lot of heavy rains and wind to the midwest that caused more flooding here that we definitely did not need!
Ike did terrible damage to Texas. I work for a company that responds to storm damage situations for power companies. We have over 600 people that have been sent to help restore power for both Ike and Gustov hurricanes. Hope you get your power back on soon and your clean up goes smoothly.
Ike aftermath was very widespread too…..causing power outages in the mid-west. Ohio was hard hit as well as Southern Indiana. I live in central Indiana we had some rain and heavy winds but luckely no outages.
Wishing you all a quick recovery.
