Well, as far as my family and friends are concerned we're all safe. Two houses flooded in Seabrook, one with 4 feet of water. My house has some roof damage and we're without power but I was able to score a generator so we have lights, fans, microwave, and tv. Every house in my group of friends and family had some sort of damage. We lost about 25 trees were I weathered through the storm, but the cattle and horses survived, although all the cows rear ends and neck skin is all red and chaffed. The cows stick their rear ends into the wind and I guess the skin under the necks flapping around caused the chaffing. The horses ran through the pasture most of the storm and were pretty wore out by the time the storm passed.
All in all we're ok.
Prayers to brothers along the coastlines of Galveston, Galveston Bay etc. Its really bad there. Bolivar and Crystal Beach are gone, and I mean GONE. Anybody who weathered that out probably didn't survive. I went down to Bayou Vista on Sunday morning to a neighbors bay house and he's got about 10000 lbs of crap in what was his yard. The 2nd story still exists, but not livable. The first is decimated.
Mother nature's power is amazing.
