Well one blessing has obviously occurred I now have power and Internet. The last blog i made was during the storm at that moment it wasnt that bad. Unfortunately it got worse we had wind gusts in my area approaching 125 mph, my roof was damaged and we got lots of water in through the hole. No power here until today and were on generator power. FEMA and the National guard are stationed at the rodeo grounds across the street, its strange watching all the military people everywhere. Gas and food are hit and miss waited in line 3 hrs.

It is midnight here and we are taking a pounding. Just recorded a gust of 100 in my area and the eye is still a couple of hours from landfall. The rain is pouring down and the wind is screaming. Galveston is underwater and flooding is widespread. So far all that has happened at my house is a tree is down in the backyard but otherwise we are good here. The trio are sleeping peacefully and the rest of my family are watching a movie ( we still have power but cable is out) and they are in all aspects the main thing to me, everything else is replaceable.

Well once again Mother nature is poised to show us who the boss is here on the Texas Gulf Coast. I would ask that you guys keep us in your thoughts its going to be a rough ride here this weekend. My prayers and thoughts go out to all the other folks about to be impacted by this hurricane.
