Well my 2″ window blinds did not stop Hurricane Ike, but they did allow me to close off the sight of 120 mph winds and the sight of what those winds can do. We in Spring,Texas were fortunate. The loss of many trees and services for a while, yet no major loss of property and the entire 6oo mile wide storm took minimal life. All in all I have to count my blessings and thank God for His Grace and Mercy.
Ike claimed a large portion of the coastal area homes and flooded numerous areas for more than seventy miles. Electricity has been reported out south to north for more than 100 miles. We are pleased to say manufacturing and sales have suffered only a minor set back due to electric power restoration.
I can say, when the storm cleared I surveyed out the 2″ wood blinds and thought “no problem”. Once the winds calmed and I went to retrieve my 280ZX from it’s place in the garage I realized we might have a small problem. Though any problem can be overcome with the right effort.
