The fear started to begin in us from last week regarding Ike Hurricane. First, we planned to evacuate Houston and want to go Ruston where I studied my Master's in Biomedical Engineering. We were following weather channel which was frightening us more and more and told us that Hurricane Ike may turn into Category 3. On Friday morning we were planning to evacuate Houston in the noon after our lunch. But after lunch we decided to stop because things were changed in the sky and winds were started. Finally, we stopped. The day before we shopped necessities like candles, match boxes and Groceries.
That evening was awesome. Nice wind was blowing. We played cricket for an hour and then had Dinner. Out side wind was getting more strength as time passes. The landfall of Ike was at 2pm at Galveston its sea-shore town. I was chatting with one my friends that night on Gmail, suddenly I was blind. The power was taken out and our struggle was started. Wind was blowing in a ferocious way.
We haven't slept until 4 am in the morning. The next 24 hours we were out of power. We got power in the evening because our apartments are on the hospital line. Whenever there is natural disaster first power will be given to Hospitals, Govt Offices then to the Apartments.
There were no traffic lights nearly for 2 weeks. Eventually things are getting correct.
