Currently there is little food , ice, or gas. Long lines for all and food is being furnished now because all frozen foods have been bar-b-qued or have gone bad.
A tree (huge pine) fell on the corner of my mother's BR. Two huge pines fell across our driveway and were laying across the street. I feel really fortunate because I know several people who had trees fall into their houses and they will have to move out.
I have a lot of rotten food in the frige but that, too, can be replaced.
I'm just glad I got my mother out before it hit because she would have had to be air-lifed out as all streets and roads were blocked.
We are happy and cool at my brother's house in College Station and I'm planning to go to the A&M-Baylor game Saturday. My friends at home sound like zombies and relate tales of lines and waiting for ice. Most have generators now but have to be careful with gasoline because supplies are very limited and 4 hour waits are common.
Things like this happen to other people and we watch it on TV. It seems unreal.
I have family in Beaumont, and saw some pictures of their house after the storm - they evacuated before it hit, of course, but their house didn't escape damage. Don't know how much - two trees through the roof - they're not sure how much damage is done inside - no power or water there yet either, so they haven't been able to start cleanup.
