Monday (today):
Made the hour long journey to my house. The damage was pretty much the same the whole way down to my place. A few shingles missing to whole roofs missing. Some limbs down to Huge oak trees down. Power out everywhere. Got to my neighborhood and saw the water line. Thankfully the water didn’t make it up as far as they thought it may. It looked to be about an 8 ft surge by me. Started the clean up in my yard after checking the damage to my house. The chimney leaked a little so my parents got some water in their bedroom, but thankfully that was all. It could have been much worse. Walked down to the neighborhood dock after seeing all the dead fish in the streets.
The destruction just a mile closer to the water is astounding. The Hilton and Kemah are only parts of the problems, the whole area is a mess. And my job got 5 ft of work in it. And you had to drive UP a hill into the parking lot.

I am now at a friends house about ten minutes from my place and will hopefully get power soon.
