Well, we made it through, but still not back to normal. We lost power at my house around 2:30 am on Saturday morning and we still have not gotten it back. It was really hot and sticky, it sucked. My older sister has electricity back, so we are all over here. My mom doesn't have electricity or water, so she is over here to. It is very interesting having all of us in the same house for this long. Me and my sister got out of the house today and went shopping. We drove all over trying to find a store that had electricity and at the end ended up right back by her house, but it was nice to be out and about. The store was completely out of milk, anybody surprised, but while we were there they told us the truck had just gotten there, so we waited. Like 30 minutes later they checked on it just to find out it left. It had some kind of emergency and had to leave and didn't drop any milk off. It was such a tease. My sister needs the milk for my niece, so we have to go see if we can find some later.
As for everybody else:
My grandparents, Joy, and Ollie all went to Austin. They are headed back tomorrow to see what their place looks like. My grandparents live in Clearlake, so they had to leave. Joy and Ollie live in Texas City, they have no idea what their house looks like.
Both my uncles and their families are good, but don't have electricity.
My La Porte people. I was really worried about them. They had to leave and I could not get ahold of any of them from Friday night until Monday night. For those of you who know me, that was hard. My two best friend, one being Karen the other being Connie, both live there. I got ahold of Connie first and she said everything was fine, but had no electricity and are not allowed to go back yet. I then got ahold of Karen. Her house actually did not get as much damage as expected. She said her garage got a lot of water and she is going to have to replace most of the stuff in it and her house stinks, but other than that it is ok. She said the church got water in it, but that is it. They got lucky. I have not heard from Diane, so I don't know what her house looks like. She lives in Seabrook, right by Kemah, so I am hoping everything is Ok and she still has a house.
All in all we all got lucky. I am glad everybody is safe and made it through this. I have pictures, but have not downloaded them yet. I might have to wait til I get home and have electricity to do that. I will get them up as soon as I can.
Talk to all later.
