Thank the Good Lord! That was a scary night and we were all pretty anxious.
The high winds started around 10 pm, and lasted all night until about 8 the next morning. Between the wind, rain, texting Brandy, Bobby, and Melanie, and with Delaney up every hour, there wasn't much sleep going on that night. Brandy still had power during the night so she was texting me with any new updates on the storm, but their power eventually went off too.
Ryan and Addyson slept more than Delaney and me, so at least we weren't ALL completely exhausted the next day.
There is lots of damage throughout Houston and Galveston, but luckily nothing major happened in our area of Katy, just West of Houston. We really lucked out. They're estimating the insurance claims to be up over $16 Billion, crazy.
My parents(who live in NW Houston)and my sister Brandy(who live in Tomball, NW of Houston)are still without power, as are thousands of people in the area. Luckily ours was only out for about 20 hours. We have a generator that we plugged our refrigerator, some fans, and a few other things into so that was nice. No A/C though, that's the most difficult part about having no power.
After watching the aftermath of the storm on TV, we feel that much more blessed about the position that our family was left in after that horrible storm was over.
