My SIL and daughter j called from Shenandoah just n of The Woodlands about 8am..They have lost trees in front yard..some trees down on houses on their street...they lost power hours ago.Their back fence went down as they were talking..They were experiencing very high winds ..Careless neighbor left out gas cans..cans hit their car.
They are stressed but they are safe so far. No way to recharge their cell phone so I won’t hear more today most likely.
Prayers for all in harms way..
Ike is giving us a kiss ..Breezy with gusts..should get rain later.
Back is yelling at me..The big grocery shopping yesterday and 3 hours of sleep has done me in.
Thanks for the report, Megs. I am glad your daughter and family are safe, though they have damage. I know you have been a basket case.
My brother called from his location on Highway 290, and they had hurricane force winds early this morning and water came through the walls through all crevices in the new home of his son. They are reporting a “Winnie-the-Pooh” kind of rainy day now.
He is afraid of what he’ll find at his home in Seabrook. They know there is no power and since they are right on Taylor Lake, near Clear Lake, they know there must be some flooding.
I’ve been trying to keep up with that big storm. So glad at least you and your family are not injured or anything. As heartbreaking as the damage is, it can be fixed eventually. People are the most important.
You can relax now. Get some rest, Meg.
We will continue to pray for them and all in harm’s way.
