The eye has now passed Houston.

Here's hoping everyone in the path of this storm will stay safe. :wish:

Amen.

And?

Anything heard yet?

2 million people in the Houston area have no power.

I'm still waiting to hear from my relatives who were forced to move to Houston from New Orleans.

Shadozfire called me last night and she's ok. Took her a couple of hours to be able to get through though. She's not sure what she's going to find when she gets back to her house though.

My sister and family came through ok other than having one of the trees in their yard blown over onto the house. No injuries though, thank goodness.

Both are without power and I'm thinking probably will be for some time. :(

Lucky it was only a Cat2. A Cat4 would have been a hundred times worse.

It may have been a Cat2, but it was no pussy.

Enough to flatten neighbourhoods.

From hurricanes to tornados.

I pray all our Pixies in the zone are safe.

Amen to that, OF ... amen to that!

had few touch down around town, but all is well in our household. we never lost power, just tv signal briefly. the kiddos & I hunkered down on the couch while hubs went to work. a couple parts of town were heavily affected...one of the local marinas was heavily damaged. still have a few homes without power, but they are working to get it restored.

thank goodness you are safe shadowdancer

I'll second that. Glad you're okay, ShadowDancer! Be sure to tell your weatherman to route the storms north or south of you next time. :boink:
