last minute. So far, only two deaths have been reported. One was quite obviously God's will. She was crushed when a tree fell on her house as she was sleeping. She wasn't even in the evacuation zone. She was just meant to go 'home'.
We talked to our family this morning and, even though they were right next to the ship channel, they didn't have any flooding at all. A few branches down and two sections of fence fallen over looked like the only damage they had. No one has been by our houses yet to see what happened there, but it looks like it may be good news! I sure hope so.
As much as I would like to see my family, I REALLY don't want to go and do repairs on two houses. The last time my parents went and did that, they were gone for eight months!
I hope everyone else faired okay and let's hope they can let us know really soon...

25533I've decided that, after hearing first hand accounts from our family on Galveston Bay, that it isn't as bad as the news makes it out to be. When you think about it, if they don't report the worst of it, it's not really news, is it? So, from what I can tell, they are only reporting what the worst is, not the common things. Granted, Galveston Island was pretty bad, but not farther up the bay. I'll let you know when I hear more.
3794I so glad to know that your family is doing fine. I hope when you get to your house that you find it in reasonable condition. You are still in my prayers. Please keep us updated.

46645I'm glad your family's ok! Some of the pictures I saw were just awful, I guess it depends on where you were. Kind of like our snow up here, I can get three feet at my house and a mile down the road it's practically bare. Well, I guess Ike's coming here now, we have high wind warnings, 50-60 mph, but no rain yet. Pushed all that hot wet air up here, though, it's hard to even breathe. Luv y'all, Marji
