my friend in Houston made it without even losing power.
Thanks for asking!
With hope and heart,

I'm in north Spring, just north of Houston. We lost power for only a few
hours. Only got an inch of rain and I doubt the wind blew harder than 50--I
never managed to see a news report on how hard the wind DID blow--just how
hard it MIGHT blow, which scared the hell out of me. I managed to sleep
through most of it, and my garden didn't even get trashed. I had cut all my
Mexican sage off and given bouquets to neighbors, now I wish I'd left some!


It sure was misery on all the poor folks who evacuated. I hope to hell the
state has the foresight to plan opening both sides of the freeway for the
next evacuation--and what about TRAINS? They could have shipped a lot of
people north on the trains!

We REALLLLY lucked out on this one--I hope the next one we get isn't the
mother of all mothers! (knock, knock) I know I will NEVER live nearer than
100 miles of the coast. We're about 80 miles from it, and that was too
close.
