Sandy, so glad you are safe and being taken care of. Hopefully your power will be on again, soon. We haven't been to Houston since the hospital fiasco, and don't know when we will need to go there. I'm sure parts will look different.

We heard that some of the schools reopened yesterday, but not all of them. We certainly did not wish the storm to move north, south to King Ranch or a very lowly populated area was our prayer, but looking at what happened in your area, we are thankful that it did not hit here.

We still have refugees in our area waiting to hear they have power before returning home. Take care and keep us posted on progress.
