Monday Morning Post-Ike

It is blissfully cool and dry this morning. Yesterday was a productive day of cleaning up the yard. I'll post some pics later, but we have several large piles of debris raked into piles for crews to haul away eventually, including a number of very large branches, lots of smaller stuff, and of course 80 feet of fencing.

We are thankful to have a couple friends who have power. They (and the church) are on the same power grid as the local fire station and police station, so they get back online fast. We're hoping for some time today.

We know we have it much better than a lot of people, especially down in Galveston, but even here in Kingwood there are people whose houses were sliced in two by falling trees. And the fact that we have friends like the Burkes whom we stayed with last night - it's amazing how a good night's sleep in air conditioning can improve one's attitude.

Grocery stores are pretty empty and most gas stations are gasless. More updates are being posted on my site each day. Click here.
