Update from Houston

THIS happened this evening in CLEVELAND. I can't even imagine what the wind must be like in the actual hurricane.

That's my dh in our backyard on the right side of the pic, I would have cropped him out but I wanted him there for scale/perspective. We were in our yard securing the pool stuff when I heard creeking. Then this!

Is that Cleveland TX or Cleveland OH???? My grandma is in Cleveland TX, elderly and alone at home on a dirt road and nobody can get to her right now. One of my cousins is going to be going to get her and bring her to stay in town as soon as the roads allow.

Glad to hear everyone is ok.

I also heard that Ohio got hit with high winds, and Chicago with lots of flooding. Sure is a monster storm!

Glad you're okay, Amanda! These big storms are scary business.

Hey girls! Thanks for the well wishes! Our power came back on last night. Almost 4 days without power is not fun AT ALL! Fortunately, we came through unscathed - no damage to our house and no downed trees (we have 8). Although our neighbor behind us lost a tree into his garage roof and a couple people across the street lost big trees into the yard.

Amanda - I'm glad you found someplace to stay with power - I was definately thinking of you during all of this.

I'll be back later with some photos. But right now, I'm enjoying a cup of coffee and then I'm going to log into work and get some work done today.

Glad to hear you are okay, Melissa!

Have any more Texas girls checked in?
