As most of you already know we made it through Ike with no damage to our home or family! We were without power for about 2 days, though. That was rough. We have never been so happy to hear our a/c kick on.
The worst part of having no power was just the heat and trying to keep Alex cool. The kid wouldn't slow down at all and spent both days just dripping with sweat.
Selim's club was untouched! That is a miracle. We were really worried that it would have flooded, or that the bubbles that cover half of the tennis courts would have blown away!
So he is back to work, but it is pretty slow. Most of his clients are busy repairing their homes or they have left the city until they get their power back.
We never worried once about my office, so of course it is in shambles. The roof was torn off of the entire office building. Our actual offices were flooded and have pieces of the ceiling everywhere. They are estimating at least 2 weeks before we can get back in.
The firm has not made a decision on what our next step is. We might relocate, we might find temporary space, we might live in a trailer in the parking lot?
The courts are all up and running again, though. So I am back to business as usual, just without an office to go to.
All in all, we were very lucky!
