Remembering Hurricane Ike

It's hard to believe that nearly 4 years has past since Hurricane Ike came roaring through Kentucky. This wasn't my first hurricane, I survived Hurricane Bob in 1991 while living on Nantucket Island. Hurricane Bob had winds of up to 104mph, that hurricane was a little stressful, Ike on the other hand was terrifying. Living in the woods surrounded by trees I thought for sure we would lose the cabin and if one of the large trees came crashing down on the cabin, we could have been seriously hurt. We became trapped early on when a tree fell across the driveway, we didn't have a choice but stick it out. After it was all over and we finally cleared a path out the driveway we headed to the main part of the park. Below are some of the photos of the destruction. I hope Ike was the storm of the century, I would not want to live through another one like that, especially in the cabin.

All that aside I have to chuckle at the quality of the photos, I only had my camera for 9 months, I was still shooting jpegs in automatic mode. I think I have improved a bit since then.
