Ike moved through Houston last night. Dave spent the night at the Carter's house along with the Johnson family. The wind really picked up at about 7pm. We started to hear transformers blow-up all over the neighborhood. By 11pm many block were dark. By 11:30pm all of the south part of Willowbend was dark. We lost power at 2:30am. The wind was impressive and howling.
Saturday morning we woke up to a good amount of storm damage in the neighborhood. Lots of tree debris and trees down - amazingly none hit houses or cars. Fences were down all over.
Later Saturday Dave went to ISP in TxCity to help assess damage. During the trip there and back there was no power or open stores anywhere. Our new house in Friendswood is fine, although you had to walk through knee deep water to get to it.
Amazingly enough Dave's parent's house had power! That is where Dave is now. Since we have not been together since early Tuesday morning Dave, Barbara and Sean are looking forward to seeing each other hopefully on Monday
