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 ?

we just got electricity right now, i got back saturday around noon from dallas, came back by myself and family stayed up there, got quite of bit of roof (shingles) blown off which ended up up being water in the kinds bedrooms (ceilings/walls/carpet) and soaked it way all the way down to the ceiling in the garage which but did not fall thru, broke my ceiling fans in my pation, layed the fence halfway down, blew my shed away, broke one window (good thing it was a double glass window and only the outside one broke if not it would be more damage in the house), and hurt a few limbs off of my queen palms,
so yesterday and today, the neighbors and I have been working on putting tarps over the roof taking carpet out moving furniture... so i've been pretty busy and am exhausted,
i hope insurance will pay up for all the mess and wont be a hassle to deal with them...

We faired ok in La Porte.. It looks really bad all around Sea Brook, and Laporte..
But no water in the house, Some roof Damage, lost all of my fence, and part of a tree..
No power either, and doesn't look like we will have any for a while
