Texas City took the eye of Ike, but goodness, now that I have had the chance to look at the images of other areas, I feel extremely lucky. I have seen a lot of trees down and power lines, but have not seen any destroyed homes in my town.
I still don't have power at my house. I am at a friend's house doing laundry and catching upon the news. The photos are just devastating. I have insulted my house many times, calling it my "piece of shit house," but it sure stood up to Ike well.
In Texas City, life is slowly returning to normal. This morning we had at least 4 gas stations open, plus Wendy's, Burger King, Sonic, Casa Ole, and the Reef restaurants all serving food. I had the best fountain drink of my entire life today!
The worst I can say about my own life right now is that it's a bit inconvenienced. I am very sorry for the losses others are suffering. I don't know what to say... words fail me.
