We're sheltering in place here in Houston. We'll play it by ear after the storm passes. We'll let you know that we're ok whenever we have internet access afterwards - power will most likely be knocked out durign the storm.

We are starting to feel the effects up here already. Gas is on the rise and suppose to hit $5 a gallon before the weekend is over...

Yeah they actually raised the gas prices in surrounding areas around 3:00 today down here not too long after they started reporting the closures of the off-shore rigs.
My parents are currently without power (they live here in town). I still have mine, but I am not sure how long I'll have it. There have been a few fluctuations in the last few hours.

Well I am okay. I talked to John on the phone and he is okay. He was going to call Jay and check in on him. I would assume Jay is fine as we are all generally on the same side of town.
Sounds like power could be out 3-4 weeks worst case. That sucks.
As far as the damage, I don't have a lot to report besides what you guys can hear/read on TV/net yourselves. I heard that the winds downtown took out plenty of windows, sucked the computers right out and threw them all across the street.....<sigh>
Catch you guys later.

John talked to Jay and they are okay. They lost a fence in the process, but the house and cars are doing just fine.
I was last at my place today at around 4:00 and still did not have power. My parents place doesn't have power. My family got together and went back to my sister's place and discovered she has power. That is where I am at the moment. I may go back to my hot apt later and see if I have power.

Just got my internet back! Had power restored last night, so everything is up and running.
Rebekkah took the girls out of town yesterday afternoon to get away from the huge mess that is "recovery".

I have plumbing back, so that is nice. Electricity still out. Lost internet at some point during the recovery time, and it is still out.
I'll probably start shaving at work soon. haha!
