Thursday before the hurricane my dad woke us up at 6ish and said we were going to leave. So we set out for AR after frantically packing. We soon learned that our area was under a mandatory evacuation, so we were very fortunate to get out early! After driving for a while my dad changed his mind and said that we were going to go to Tyler since AR is 8 hours away. So we went to Tyler and stayed in a small cabin. Saturday the electricity went out and some trees began to fall around us, so we huddle in the hallway for an hour or so and waited. It was soon over but we didn't know when we would get power back on so we decided to leave Sunday. We found out are home had minor damage some fence fell over, and we lost a little bit of siding but that was about it. We lived without power from Saturday 'til Thursday.
So that's my brief summary of Hurricane Ike.
