Yea, thanks for ur concern. It is ridiculous now. I still have no power ( we are at a friends hosue for the night. Trees and debris everywhere. Terrible in Southwest Houston (i live) apparently downtown Houston is closed. Places an hour away like crystal beach and bolivar peninsula are so bad that media is not allowed there. Gov. official wont allow any to see how bad it is. SO not good at all…so far i believe 3 deaths but unfortunatly that is expected to go much higer. Galveston and other cities are completly destroyed. 1.7 Million ppl. dont have power (just centerpoint talking about). Just terrrible. My family and I and friends are OK. Power went out at about 7 PM in my hosue so we moved to a nieghbors hosue who evacuated along with another family. Power there went out about 3:30 AM. I went to bed at 5 AM for only about 1 hour and a half. All night we were looking at trees falling. transofrmers were blowing up and the sky would turn blue. In the backyard branches were stuck on a powerline and it was on fire and we watched it on fire. It was causing sparks to go on our diff. houses. We called teh fire department to let them know but they couldn’t come out bcz. of teh conditions. luckily it died out after 30 minutes and no harm done. So i continued watching outside (2nd story) looking at a bunch of lights from a distance, suddenly the lights went out and that was pretty cool how it everything became dark in 1 second. After i woke up we went outside to lots of waters and braches everywhere…i have never seen so much green in my life…streets filled with trees and braches…whole trees uprooted (and my neighborhood was lucky, jeez)…it was jsut nuts…luckily my house had no damage and no flooding (though my house always floods so we got lucky)…no one we knew had flooding though we know of friends who have roof damage due to trees…hopefully our power goes back tommorow but some places here in houston and galveston adn other places wont have power for 30 days…wish eveyrone else effected by IKE, good luck and stay safe.
