We were lucky. Our home didn't flood, the roof and windows are intact, and we got power back quickly. The back yard took a whack. No big deal. There's roof and window damage around the neighborhood. An SUV is in one of the ornamental lakes. Rumors are starting to pour in from friends and neighbors about the death toll in Galveston. Hopefully they're just rumors. Thanks to Brad and Ruben, and Anne and Mark, for letting us stay with them, and to everyone whose been calling and texting.
Update: Just tried to make a run to HomeDepot, about a mile from here. The water is receding in the little neighborhood lakes, and a couple of more cars emerged. Boats are still in the streets. A construction trailer-home office was upside down. The army is camped out in the grocery parking lot.
