I live north of Houston and would like to know the same thing, a general damage report. We lost power here at about 1 or 2 in the morning so I am using a laptop with an air card at the moment.

Conditions are windy and rainy but it appears that we weathered the storm very well up here -- but keep in mind that observation is based only on what I can see from my limited vantage point.

I'm concerned for those in Galveston and all along the coast who decided to hold out.

What did President Bush mean when he spoke about reformulated gasoline to permit increased imports? Is this more or less ethanol?

My husband is from Newton and has been trying to get in touch with his father.

Have you heard any news coming out of the Jasper/Newton area?

Just talked to some friends east of The Woodlands. No electricity and they cut the water off. Lots of large trees down in the area.
