Surviving hurricane ike

I felt very scared when i found out that a hurricane this size was coming to the shores of Galveston but i ignored it and so did my family because we decided to stay here in Houston and ride out the storm. On Friday morning i got up early to help my step dad put wood on the 2ND story windows that was kinda hard. Then i started to watch TV and all i saw was the news on every channel and i started to think that we should of evacuated because it was going right to Houston and i saw a lot of people starting to panic. That same night my family and i were all sitting together in the living room watch what was happen in Galveston as the storm was approaching then we were all getting tired so we went to sleep. Next my mom wakes me up at around 2:30 am and as i get up i can hear the wind beating on all the windows, all the trees were shaking like if they were about to break from that point on i kind of stayed awake the rest of the morning. when i got out of bed i noticed that the power had gone out and we had no water so the hole Saturday was really boring because we had no TV and we could even take a shower later on that day me and my sister went out for a drive to see what had happen we noticed that there was a lot of trees down and no one around us had light we came back and told our parents that there was a lot of damage and no stores were open. The next day we were so happy because we got our power back.
