Event: Hurricane Ike

Here are some of my photos of pre and post Hurricane Ike. They're not as dramatic as the images that you might see from the Associated Press. I wish they were!

The bf and I waited til the last minute to get some non perishable items. The lines were pretty long but it just seemed like your typical rush hour grocery shopping. Except that a lot of the shelves were empty.

Super long lines at every gas station that had electricity and gas of course.

The Pappas BBQ was one of the first places to open up and it got packed quick! The bf and I decided to wait to go eat out at restaurants just in case they decided to use meat that may have been unfortunately stored at the wrong temperature due to the outages.
