Hey all,
We had a mandatory evac from our home. We live about a mile from Kemah, just inland from the west side of Galveston Bay. Our neighbor told us we are about 17 feet above sea level. We don't think our house flooded, but there are flash flood warnings all over because there was heavy rain last night. Many areas are flooded already. We have heard some roofs in our area had shingles blown off, so we are also a bit concerned about leaks. I boarded up the whole house, so broken windows shouldn't be an issue.
We spent the night with our friends, Brad and Ruben, in their high rise condo Thursday and Friday night. They lost power during the storm, so we spent the night with my sister and brother-in-law, Anne and Mark, last night. They have power, but very little water pressure. We're hoping to get a look at our home soon, but really don't know when that might be. Hopefully tomorrow. Some of the roads and highways are flooded and blocked with debris, and branches and power lines are also a concern. I think cops are also blocking entrance to some of the neighborhoods in our area. So, we are HUNKERING DOWN until further notice.

Nice to know the Langstons are good! We escaped to Spring Branch and returned home Saturday, apparently to the one complex with electricity in a six-block area.
So now we've gone from guesting at our in-laws' to, starting tomorrow, hosting them. One big party.
Glad you fared well. We feel quite lucky, and it's good to hear ya'll were too. Birgitta is coming over later, and we will try to enjoy the cool front on the back porch and watch the cars drive past. Not much of the fence is left in back.
