Last of the Family Contacted

Finally got my brother, they do not have Electricity in Conroe area and all the cell phones died. They got a generator yesterday, but don't expect to get Electricity until 29th.... they are hoping that date is an exaggeration and will be sooner, but didn't want to tell people a date too soon and not make it.
Let's see it hit the 13th and will be 29th before they get Electricity again - geeze. That means the well isn't pumping water either.

But it was basically good news, the house withstood the winds and none of the tall pine trees fell on the roof, but it did leak a little.

Thank God for keeping them safe...

My son stayed in College Station and even though they were on the 'dry side' of Ike - they still got 3.5 inches of rain and flooded the yards.

Austin was breezy and warm - not a drop of rain and we really could have used 3.5 inches

Wha tis crazy is Ingleside - Port Aransas way down by Corpus experienced flooding from the waves of the storm surge making it all the way down south to Padre Island... I hear the Island had some flooding, but my Mom wasn't specific.

Hope if you have family and friends in the area that they are all OK
