The power just came back on here. All the subdivisions around mine had juice, but mine was out for 12.5 hours. It got to 87 degrees in the house even with all the windows and doors open.

I had no structural damage whatsoever. Very little rain. Tree limbs are down all over the place.

I saw on the battery powered TV that my area of town in Galveston is completely intact. No damage, no flooding.

We west-siders really got lucky.

Benji is a mess because he's been munching ice, then wiping his snout in the grass/dirt to get the water off his fur.

Good puppy.

Lights just came back on in Spring Branch - after around 10 hours. Went out around 6 am. Part of our fence blew down, and some limbs on the tree, but that's it. We are very thankful. Grateful about Galveston as well - niece in medical school down there was very worried she would have no school to come back to.

Are you headed back to Galveston anytime soon?
