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...
