Diana and I live in Spring, and we got hit pretty hard in this area.  We caught the western edge of the eye as it went up I-45.  Our house went through the storm with minimal damage, with only one (dead) tree falling on the back of the house, and one falling in the back yard.  We got power here Saturday night, just hours after I told myself it would be the last night I slept at home without a/c.  Diana was in Pennsylvania when the storm hit, so she missed out on all the fun.

Sunday, day after the hurricane passed through... We decided to head out to Livingston to check on the lakehouse.  As we were driving through the neighborhood, viewing all of the destruction for the first time, my 3.5 year old daughter screams out, "look daddy, pretty flowers!  Amongst the fallen 30-40 year old pine trees fallen down in the entrance of the subdivision she spotted the landscaping.  Grin

Diana went up to the ranch over the weekend, and we were spared any damages up there.  One stand lost it's roof, and the hogs seemed to find something they really liked around the camp house to eat!!! 

Glad to finally get my life back in order enough to get online!
