More "IKE" Information

We spoke to Dad Dan tonight and he is back at his League City house.
Here is the info he gave us ...

• Power is back on as of Tuesday morning (way quicker than we had thought)
• The water is back down to normal level, in the canal where it should be
• The pool is black, with fish and shrimp in it (it will be drained, cleaned, and resurfaced)
• The yard is filthy with trash, shingles, siding, wood, etc.
• The garage was flooded, therefore all the boxes and stuff that were on the floor are ruined (unfortunately, some of those boxes contained photos and important papers)
• The roof is badly damaged
• The walls, ceilings, & carpet are damaged where the roof leaked
• The house is very musty smelling, due to the leaks and not having power

The funny side of the "damage" is there is a very large sailboat between Dad Dan's house and his neighbors house, sitting in the yard, waiting for its owner to come find it and take it away!

They have begun cleaning up the yard already, and tomorrow they will start on the garage. The insurance adjuster will be coming out hopefully by this weekend to assess the damage to the house. The first major project will be to fix the roof before they get anymore rain!

Steven (Dad Dan's friend) took some pictures and videos throughout the storm and Lesia got some aftermath pictures, before they started cleaning up. They are going to try and get those pictures uploaded and emailed so I can post them on the blog. I will update you again when those arrive.
