Well, we survived Ike here in EB. Turns out going 80 miles west of Friendswood was just enough distance. We received some wind and a little rain last night/this morning. Lost power for about 6 hours...but that has since been restored.
Now comes the waiting game. When do I travel back to inspect things? Not much use in going home if there isn't going to be power for several weeks. Perhaps i'll drive home (assuming the law officials are letting people in the neighborhoods) inspect the houses and secure anything that can be secured. Then drive back here to EB where there is power? Hmmm...what to do? Hopefully power is restored much more quickly than anticipated.
The word from the Friendswood fire department is that there was no flooding in homes...so that's good. But there were a lot of trees downed...hopefully not on my house.
There are reports of my friends' houses and most of the news is good. Minor damage is all that has been reported. I bet my fence (one that i have been wanting to replace) is gone...
