AVG said, "I'm up in Maryland. Our crisis for the day is hoping the beer is cold."
I'm in Maryland, too... AVG must have forgotten already how much bruhaha was made here when Hanna blew by... |

The surge seemed to be pretty big on the Galveston area from what I could tell from the vid I saw on Fox26 just now. Tons of boats on dry land and roughly 2feet of water in some houses. Atleast the running water is back up, pressure still low but better than nothing.

Here in Mississippi on I-20 there is a steady (and I mean STEADY) stream of utility trucks, power poles, transformers, huge generators, and truckloads of workers all going west as fast as they can roll.
I will never forget that it was Georgia Power workers who restored electricity to my neighborhood after Hurricane Katrina. It makes you emotional to know that after days and days of no electricity or water or phone that someone from another state helped you out like that. Just keep the shotgun nearby Neal and everything will be fine.

Looks like the damage was considerable...
http://edition.cnn.com/2008/US/weath...xas/index.html Rancho subsim looks to have survived though: |

I don't think so. With all the small debris in the water, I would not give a jetski much of a life in those waters. Much better off with a canoe.

This guy appears to have room, but I don't fancy the environment.
I can't help thinking of the cost to those poor folk who have worked hard to purchase their boats and property. This must be absolutely soul destroying. Can't get Neal out of my thoughts either....praying he's well but without power only.

Watching the Fox26, it seems the situation should be starting to improve in the Houston area, tons of trucks just arrived to the area with water, food and whatelse.

Whereabouts are you? I'm in St. Louis. Ike really gave us a good punch this morning here. Was a bit stronger than I had expected for the distance it had traveled and weakened. |

Get the Cavalla out and take her to the Ranch, I'm sure Neal won't mind
Hope he's alright though, sounds as though he may have just got away from the worst of it. |
