Crazy Ray lives another day I heard about this guy choosing to stay in Surfside late yesterday evening. I expected he would never be seen again. He had recently lost his wife in addition to being caught in an oncoming hurricane. Maybe he gets a new lease on life.

Ladytex, great news that your sis and family are okay. Glenn, that is amazing that your power was only out for a couple hours.

Pamy, Verizon has asked people to limit use of their cell phones because they are having difficulties. I have had no problems with my Sprint service so far. I am not sure about any of the other cell providers.

well, we finally have power!!! we lost power at midnight on Friday. our neighborhood got hit pretty bad from the back side of the storm. lots of trees down and roof damage. thankfully my family is ok and my house came through relatively unscathed. tree fell on my fence and took out the power lines and transformer. on tuesday, the electric company caused an explosion when they decided to test the lines. (idiots). i think almost everyone on my street is back but it will probably be a few more days/weeks before everyone gets it back. (and we were on the weak side of the storm) i finally saw pictures of Galveston and Boliver. God bless them. It's just heart breaking.

Yeah Annie! I am glad you and yours are safe and sound. That is crazy about the power company, hope it didn't cause power surges and mess up any electronics. Were you able to keep the food in your fridge/freezer from going bad? I bet there was alot of grilling going on in your neighborhood.

Great to hear from you Texannie. We still have quite a few of your "neighbors" over here wishing they could go home. The food bank has stretched its limits and is calling for donations. It's been mostly sunny here with one tiny rain shower the night the "cold" front arrived.

Glad you got your power back and are okay, Texannie. Dang, that was a long time. I wasn't too worried about you because you were on the "easy" side of the storm. I wonder if that means Bigdog's cousin in Bayou Bend has been without power all this time too? We heard from her first day or so after the storm, and she was at her Mom's in Rice U district, and Mom had power but cousin did not.

Thanks, Texannie. Bigdog's cousin is immediately south and east of Memorial Park, near the Ima Hogg mansion. Wow, I hadn't even thought of them still not having power. I will tell Bigdog.

Yesterday the rain came down in sheets. It was like standing under a faucet. We are used to living with rain but it drizzles here in the Pacific NW....not pour! Our pugs wanted nothing to do with going outside in that mess. We had to shove them out the door and then they ran down stairs to the kennel and sat there looking out at the downpour. DH and I walked around with our umbrellas coaxing them out...then they would cuddle next to our legs to get under the umbrella too. I have to admit I laughed until my sides ached. You should see those little pugs run trying to get between the raindrops. Thank heavens it is better today, windy and a drizzle.

Wednesday and Thursday were hot (close to 100+ degrees.) Yesterday was cooler, enough that I wore jeans and was comfy. Today is overcast (heard some talk about rain,) windy, cold. It's still early for this type of weather here, usually it's closer to Halloween (with Halloween night being the first really cold night.)
