my life goes on

I guess I should update more often!

We've been home 2 weeks. The destruction is amazing. We have minimal damage to our house - some ceiling repairs, our roof needs replacing, and our fence.

The girls are back in school and life is slowly returning to normal. Most of the traffic lights are working and most of the debris on the roads is cleaned up, though I got a huge scratch down the side of my car driving down Bay Area Blvd from a tree limb sticking into the road. The traffic lights seem to take turns working. If Space Center/NASA 1 is working, then Saturn/NASA 1 isn't. If the light at Bay Area Blvd/I45 is working, the light in front of the mall doesn't. or vice versa.

There are still so many boats left to clean up. The marinas and docks are a tangled, cockeyed mess of tilting masts and lines. There's a barge with a crane down at Clear Lake - it seems to be lifting up the boats from the bottom of the lake.

I have so many customers who have lost everything.

Glad you are back home. From my side of the country it's hard to imagine what's going on there, seeing pictures doesn't tell it all.

You're right, Karen. Even for me, the pictures seemed unreal. It's the reality of driving past it every day , seeing the piles of household debris by the road, that brings it home.
