Mike,

Glad to hear from you.

These things are so destructive. In a past one I remember a store front plate glass window flexing and bending and then being aware it was doing so.

Good to see you back.

Mark.

FYI,

My BIL sent an email telling us his power was restored last night (9/25) at 7:20PM. He lives north of Houston about halfway between downtown and George Bush Intercontinental airport.

I can't imagine going almost two weeks without power. We had a storm roll through about 4 or 5 years ago and lost power for 3 or 4 days--that was bad enough.

The latest we've heard from our Houston fam is that the cousins who thought their house would be totalled are now trying to make do with it, put the roof back on and dry everything out.

We're not sure about the other two cousin fams.

I'm sure they have their hands full.
