After the storm
Not sure how many have read TBH but I talked to Dena. Bobby & Dena are both ok. How did everyone else fair?
|
Family in Angleton are fine just no electricity!! Family staying with me that live in Freeport don't know anything yet. Also family owns two beach houses in Surfside that do not know anything yet! Got a call into Tomme to see how his house faired!
|
I talked to Tomme yesterday and he was staying in SA so he might not know yet. Hope everyone made it ok
|
I have food, water, ice, & gas loaded & ready to go when we get the ok. I plan on leaving Monday.
|
good luck to everybody
|
Heard last night that power is back on in Santa Fe. At least around my in-laws house.
Hope everyone gets back on track soon. |
My cousins house in Freeport is ok! Got power and water!! Tomme is back in Rockport but have not heard from him yet but he was getting reports everything is A ok.
|
Tons of damage in my area. Moderate roof damage and lots of my trees down...but it could have been much worse.
no power, water, phone, at this time...and not expected anytime soon. Just like on Gilligans Island, No phone, no lights, no motor cars, Not a single luxury, Like Robinson Carousoe it's primitive as can be. I have put my targets back out and can shoot my bow, so there's that. |
Mark,
PM sent. If you can't call at least email me as you seem to have access to a PC. We need to chat about next week! |
Roger,
I got the message. I have limited PC access at work. We have massive generators here. I will try and call you. Right now, my elk trip is in danger. I don't know that I could fly off to go hunting and leave the family home in the dark with no power or services. Mark |
I completely understand. No worries. If you do make it, make sure to call me so I can pick you up. Take care of your family!
|
Thanks Roger,
When I made the plans, Kevin indicated that he would be able to pick me up at the air port. I get in mid-morning....around 10:30 or something like that. If it would work better for the whole operation for me to ride with you....that is fine with me as well. I doubt I will be able to do the coordination. I can check here and TBH everyday from work, and maybe things will get better sooner than they are telling us. Right now I can only keep shooting and hope for the best. It would be hard to pack by flashlight, and can't wash anything of course. |
I'm posting from my cell...minor roof damage, downed fence, and still no power. Luckily I have a generator to run once in a while to keep my 3 freezers going.

Glad your ok but that suxs about the house and garage!!
|
No damage, other than a sore back from picking up limbs. Power was restored Monday night and I am back at work today. Volunteering to distribute supplies donated by Dow to the community. So relief for the sore back, but not all bad.
|
All is well on my end....
Got power back and I am back at work today. If anyone in the NW side needs anything, let me know. I will do whatever I can. |
I sure am sorry to see those pics of your house and garage.
I was the last one to get power after Rita, so I believe I am still a long way from power yet. Last night driving home from the airport, it was complete darkness north of Porter. It was creepy dark. It if were not for the sounds of generators and chainsaws, you could believe you were the last person on earth. Someone asked me at work if my neighborhood had power....I told him no, but much of my neighborhood didn't have power before the storm! :) Roger, if I make the trip...I will definitely use my airline ticket. It gives me more time to try and recover and get home, plus it is already paid for. Thanks so much for your kind offer of a ride, and washing, at your place. I still hope to hunt with you guys next week. Mark |
I hope you get to go Mark!!
|
I hope you get to go Mark. I know you need some time with nature. Good luck
|
Thanks guys, I don't feel that far from "nature" now, as I am peeing and washing in the front yard. :) but I know what you mean. It would be nice to be away for the week. I think I can work it out. I will make a decision by Sunday.

I am glad everyone seems to be ok. I, too, still don't have power. Just sitting outside during the day and going to sleep at dark.
|
Wife said she got power back on this afternoon in Madisonville.
|
Thankful that everyone is OK. I am relieved! Came through that area 2 days after the storm hit. Was in the back hills of southwest TX and had no contact with the outside for over 8 days so did not even know the storm had hit yet until we got back in cell service. Praise God for answered prayers.
