Call me crazy but we stay through the hurricane despite the desperate pleads of my family to leave. I was wishing that we did when the winds were 90-100 mph hour! Ray sent us to his cousin's house where we endured the hurricane. There were 3 adults and 5 children. (the ruggles clan) We lost electricity between 9 & 10 pm Friday. Triston was on flashlight duty. Before we lost electricity for good, the lights went off and on about five times and Triston was ever so faithful and quick at providing the lights so no one would be scared of the dark(mainly him). We tried to let the children sleep until we heard what we thought was a tree hit the house and then we got all the kids up and brought them to the middle of the house where there not so many windows. The kids were up from then on! It was so scary! I just knew any minute that the roof would detach from the house.At one point, Triston said, "I'm freaked out mom." He was freaked out because no electricity means no night lights. Rylee and Tray were extremely brave. Thanks to my sister, husband, and neighbor who texted me through the hurricane! We were able to return home 3pm Saturday. Our home was ok. My car was destroyed and our only tree in the back yard went down on the fence. We spent the night at home last night with the help of our generator. Ray was with us and this morning when he left for work we left for Tiffany and Joe's house in College Station. It took us 4 and a half hours to get here. We are enjoying the electricity! Moral of the story-we will leave next time!
