We weathered the storm without too much damage. We had some big limbs come down in our yard with some minor fence damage, but overall we escaped much of the disaster that came through Houston.
We lost power around midnight and mostly stayed awake through the night listening to the wind blow hard. Around dawn the next day I went out in the truck to survey the damage and it was nasty! Thankfully many of the trees that went over either went into fences or into the roads. As of Sunday night we still don’t have power but have been able to spend the night with Meg (on Saturday) and will stay with Julie and Diego tonight. We’ve been cleaning up the yards… Diego and I were cut up a tree that fell on our friend Rob’s house.
It’s been a ride for sure. Here are a few more pics and all the pics we took.

I am glad you guys are alright. It sounds like most people that we know in Houston just had minor damage. Hope the electricity comes back soon.
Best Wishes.
