Rita's gone and I'm back at home

[Steeve]

Well, after aborting my evacuation attempt after discovering its futility, I "hunkered down" (using the local medias vernacular) at a friend's house on the south side of Houston.

This morning I got up, and he had lost power probably around 6-7am. I drove back to my house in Friendswood, seeing NO damage on the way. The house was fine, with some tree limbs down, and some debris in the back yard. I have all utilities cranking, electricity, gas, phone, and cable.

I am relieved. I hope everyone else comes home to equally good news. Watch the roads though, the traffic is already starting to build. We don't need another evacuation cluster in reverse.

Glad to hear things are ok.

Beautiful...having had the pleasure of hunkering down, I am so glad all is well in your part of the Rita experience. Here's hoping for more good news...
