Well thankfully we hardly even got hit. The only thing that happened is that the power went out and several tree branches fell off. Our power went down around 2 am on Saturday. It stayed down until last night. After the power came back on we just reorganized ever thing that we had put away in case any windows broke. So all and all nothing horrible happened at all. We are very lucky that nothing bad did happen. The hurricane was acutely heading directly to us and would have done devastating damage, but 3 days (Thursday) before the hurricane hit, we had record highs in heat around 100 degrees and literally pushed the hurricane away from our city (Houston). Though because of that it still did horrible damage to other cities east of us.

As you know, I was planning to evacuate with my family tonight. We had scheduled a flight at 5:00 pm to leave, unexpectedly the air port shut down at 2:00 pm. We decided to drive to our destination instead, but then we thought why bother? The highway is literally a parking lot, and we could have run out of gas before even getting there. So no we are staying at our house, though we didn't buy any spare food because we thought we were going to leave. So now that the stores are closed, and there is no possible way to get a generator for the house. Though we have plenty of food in the freezer and a barbeque inside the house, I just hope the power doesn't go down. I'll just have to see what happens.
