My family made it back to Houston safe and sound. They are only missing a few shingles, and have some limbs down in the yard. My sister said that they are turning off the power across Houston one county at a time for an hour at a time. Apparently there are problems with the electric supply and it could cause a state-wide outage. I haven’t been able to find anything on the Net about it yet though.

Family in East Texas weren’t quite as lucky - They are being told they will be without power for 3 to 6 weeks. They can’t get out because gas is scarce, and nobody is allowed more than 6 gallons at a time.
