The storm passed over Houston today, and we've already heard from some people who went through our neighborhood. It appears that we have lost some shingles from our roof, but otherwise the house looks intact from the outside. No down trees or broken windows for us, although that doesn't hold for everyone in our area. Some people in our neighborhood appear to have power, which is quite a surprise.
Today we went to the zoo and then shopped for supplies. The plan is to hit the road for home very early tomorrow. We will probably have to get off the main highway before we reach Houston, as we have heard that parts of it are still underwater inside the city limits. The beltway appears to be open, though, and one of our neighbors has already traveled that way without incident.
Once we leave the hotel, chances are we will not be able to update the blog for awhile. I'm pretty sure that internet access will be as spotty as power in our area. Although we've already had several pleasant surprises, so who knows?
Our big worry now is the roof -- has it leaked, or will it do so if we get more rain before we can get it repaired? Time will tell. Wish us luck.

So glad to hear that it seems things have gone well with the house!!! We'll wait to hear the extent of things. Hopefully it is a simple matter of a few sheets of shingles!!
