We are OK!
Power just came on for us. There's still 2.3 million without electricity, down from 3.2 million. We put up a good fight against Ike...some fences down, lost a few sections of roof shingles, a couple little leakies. Truly random damage -- Our next door neighbor's house lost its brick covered chimney with the bricks scattered all over their yard and the cap mangled and spinning crazily in the wind afterwards. I got back inside in a hurry! It was the scariest eight hours of our life barricaded in the hallway hearing noises never heard before and hope to never again. Truly, truly fortunate as we are seeing for the first time on TV all the destruction. Words cannot express what we saw as we ventured to Arby's for our first hot meal since Thursday. Please keep Texas in your thoughts and prayers.
