Hey! I won't be on here for long…I finally found a tiny bar of service on my wireless card…(and on my cell phone for that matter).
Our area got hit by Hurricane Ike…but not a whole lot of damage…some houses did have trees fall on their roofs, some trailers had their roofs completely blown off…a few destroyed houses/businesses….but mostly just trees down...and a bit of debris...butttttt we all lost power….we're in between two towns that don't have any power right now. Our house had no power for two days…but now we have it (although it has been flickering)…But I can't go to work…they have no power. We went to Bryan yesterday before the power came back on to look for a generator- it was crazyyy there…no generators anywhere…we had to get gas…that was crazy too…terrible lines…all the way down the highways…cars were on sides of the roads cuz they didn't make it…ran outta gas. The traffic was crazy, we were all at a stop on the highway trying to get home…hundred cars…so we turned around, went another way…
The town my college (Sam Houston) is in has no power….but my college does, and is being used by the Red Cross for evacuees….Sam got some damage apparently…but I'll find out on Thursday, if they can open then.
FEMA is going to have a post in the town I live outside of…so I dunno how long the power is gonna be out…I can't work if they don't have power…..they need the oven…unless we can get a generator.
Soooo, things kinda suck at the minute! I don't think I'll be able to do much on here…my signal is too weak…but I'll try to get updated whenever I can….just bear with me! :)
Hope all is well with everyone else!!! And no one suffered the effects of Ike on the coast….
I'll get in touch with everyone when I am able tooooo!

I wrote this 4 hours ago…then I lost all service (I've only been able to get a random bar of service on my cell phone for the past few days). Then it came back up..but I can't get the internet to stay on for more than a minute :(…so I'll try to get in touch with everyone…as soon as possible!!! <3 Kimberley
P.S. My account was phished while I wasn't able to get on…sorry for any weird messages or comments….
