CC Bowtie ... we're so very appreciative. Thanks Dad!!

There's not been anything posted till when Alvin will be restored....we had 2 tornadoes rip throught the 'hood, and we were lucky no damage to land or property. Me and the dogs are playing nomad with a friend till Go-go gadget Eric is home sometime tomorrow morning. Flying to New Orleans and driving in. Just heard that IAH and HOU will both be open Monday with limited services.

Hope all is well with others.

damn hurricane was mean.......... the 2nd round was more instense than the first which is very strange.... thats when most of the trees came down in my neighborhood. anyways, hope everyone is alright, supposebly there are tons of people dead in galveston but they are only reportin 9 at the moment. sucks. With 20k or more people that decided not to evacuate...... so yeah, wonder if they will say the truth later on ?

Be glad you weren't in Crystal Beach or on Bolivar at the time this thing hit...

Looks like a tsunami hit the place...
