The Moon Shines on Everyone

On September 12, 2008 the moon was three days from being full. People somewhere would look up at the darkened sky and say "What a beautiful moon." Within a 500 mile radius of Galveston and Houston, no one saw the moon. A Hurricane cloud was in the way. Hurricane Ike made extensive damage to the Island and to Houston and west of the eye that passed through Madisonville, Huntsville, and Lufkin leaving very little damage in its wake in College Station, Texas. The wind blew hard enough to blow a portion of our fence down. A small 15' pine was felled. Four shingles blew off our ridge line. Electricity and our generator was down in our little hospital in Grimes county so our four patients were moved to the Rehab unit in Bryan, but that was the extent of our personal damage. Next time I will look at the moon with a different perspective: "What's happening to those people who live 500 miles away from me who are looking at the same moon?"
