clear lake was pretty badly flooded, and they're just on the other side of clear creek from league city, right?
How bad did Katy get it?
My son lives near Katy somewhere.
I live in Katy, and a neighborhood a half-mile from me was without power, but I think they might have been restored. Some reports of trees down, fence damage, some roof damage, but otherwise, I'm hearing most people didn't have any serious damage.

There's too many people trying to come back clogging the roadways and impeding the flow of supplies to needed areas.

I'm living the power free lifestyle, looking at SWEPCO's outage map.
I don't know what's going on. The number of customers without power is actually creeping up 30-40 at a time.
WHY ISN'T IT DROPPING? :|
argh

My family in Houston is too. Good luck. My mom is saying it is going to be two weeks before power is restored. It is awful.

Geeeez, I wonder if this is the remnants of Ike passing through Erie, PA now.
30mph winds with 52mph gusts, with 65mph possible.
The lights flickered twice already, and stuff keeps pinging the air conditioner outside. Damn mice, stay in there!
I hope this blows the warm air away though. It's night time, and the heat index is 85°F. It was in the 60's and 70's last week.
And the lights just dimmed again.
A little farther south, around ZIP 16117, the gusts are 80mph+.

I think I'm the only Galvestonian on this forum, but yeah things didn't turn out well, but could have been worse, I guess. Like I said earlier, I live <1/4 mile from the beach at ferry and seawall. Things are pretty uncertain about what's happened. I'm not sure if my apartment has taken any damage and I don't know when power will be restored and they will let us back. Seems like it will be several weeks before we can even go back. Months before things are cleaned up Since I go to school at UTMB, I don't know what will happen. Classes obviously canceled indefinitely. I know how hard it is to forcast the hurricane path, but the late evac made things worse. Before that huge shift in the path, I thought we would have to evacuate for just the weekend.
It's really weird watching all the footage on TV of all the crap destroyed on Seawall, when I just drove down that street not too long ago. ALmost unbelievable. At least my fiancee and I are safe. I guess that's all that matters, but the whole situation is fubar right now.

We didn't see any wind in SE Michigan, all we got was rain. We are under water.

Ironically, Lake Erie has a Low Water advisory, that is the red map.
