how did everyone fare? I did ok just lost most of the shingles on our roof. Dad went back to Kemah today and took my bobcat to power grandma's house, she didn't get any water and was only 4 block from the boardwalk.

the shop weathered the storm but a lot Of my trees didn't. Considering what I saw around me I was pretty lucky. From the looks of the line of trees down between me and Colter's place it looks like a tornado crossed a out 100 feet from the front of the barn. I just got. My phone back and won't have power for a week. Oh well.

Hey Frank our lake house is phucked. Fountain is OK with minor damage caused when shed doors blew off. Walden says we had sustained 90 mph winds for 2-3 hours as eye passed. Many torn up docks and sunken boats some in front of my house. 10' waves witnessed on Lake Conroe.

I have found a super secret WIFI spot so I am back online. Roughing it in diamondhead is taking on a whole new meaning. No Plumbing since the night of the storm. Generators are cranking and owning powerboats full of gas is paying off.

By the way steak night was good at eldo's last night.
