Friends, Here is the CNN time lapse camera that focused on our house during the day that IKE hit. CNN had to leave the west beach before the storm surge, which, according to everything we learned, reached the roof line of the house, which no home could withstand. The first six minutes of the video are fixed upon our house. If you look carefully, you will see the lower deck and main stairs fail. Toward the end, the siding begins to fail. In a way, we are almost glad their was no footage of it going into the ocean. Interestingly, I was going to play macho man and "guard the houses" during IKE. However, I had recently undergone an operation on my right ear and my Doctor recommended I not stay there because I might get water in my ears. The idea of staying these now seems insane. I would have ended up graveyard dead by midnight, just a few hours after CNN left, like so many others who made that fatal mistake. As you may recall, the weather gurus were claiming low wind speeds of category 2-3. The real hell came from the storm surge hit 5. By the way, have you noticed that we are in the peak of Hurricane season and there are zero hurricanes. The weather really has its freak on this year!
