Actually, we fared a little better with Ike than Katrina. The big scare with Ike was storm surge. We have a 14' seawall around the city, and got a 13' storm surge. Along the seawall, waves were crahsing over, but the levees held. The wind damage was less severe than Katrina. I had $22,000 damage with katrina, and only about $16,000 with Ike. Insurance covered most, so I am good. The herping is fun here. Lots of water snakes, garter snakes, ribbon snakes, a good number of Speckled kings, some Eastern Hognose and of course, our share of water moccassins. I'm not quite sure yet how the storm affected all the snakes...I have found a few moccassins and ribbon snakes so far. Really would like to find a few local Holbrooki. Most here have real clean speckling with little banding. This weekend is going to be my first real herping of the spring. Wish me luck.
