Ike Hits Michigan

It is amazing to me that a storm that affected Cuba could make it all the way to Michigan and wreak havoic here. Our flag pole snapped in the high winds this afternoon. Caitlin and Herb are worried about their freezer and furnace because there is too much water in the basement for the drain to handle it all. I haven't heard anything official but rumor is we had 8.4 inches of rain. It pays to live on a hill! Hopefully Caitlin won't be shopping for a new freezer and furnace.
