So this is the closest picture I can find on the internet right now..This is in the neighboring town where we live. This is I think minor compared to what is going on closer to the coast line.. For Crosby we are out of power and could be about 1-4 weeks before we have power back on. No school (so there goes part of the summer). We have sustained minor damage. We had a huge hard wood tree that snapped in half and landed on the "SAFE" part of the electrical pole in our backyard. Another tree snapped in half and landed on the "GREEN" electrical box in our backyard. Part of the fence in the front is blown of the hinges. THANKFULLY I have to say our house is intact and nothing landed or damaged it. Our windows where all boarded up (not as cute as Kareens are though). Me and the girls left town on Thursday late morning and headed to Dallas to see the family that was on their way from Utah to come and baptize Michaela. So we met up at Matt's sister house Kathryn's and her sweet family..We are entirely grateful that they support us this happened almost exactly 3 years ago with Katrina/Rita situation. Only this time it is for REALS.. We have had a nice time here in Justin, Texas. With 14 people in the house together! COZY We had until today 9 kids and 5 adults. Now are Utah family is headed home with no baptism under their belts. This has made Michaela sad and fears that the day will never come, but alas it will soooner or later when all this mess is cleaned up. Matt is finally on his way here with our cute but rambucous puppy. Just for a quick trip to buy a generator and window unit and head home to start clean up. I am not too sure if me and the girls are going to follow yet or stay here. We shall see. I will keep you posted. Hope all my friends and family are safe and we will keep you all in our prayers. P.S.>>> If you go to www.khou.com and click on the Ike slideshows it gives you some pictures of all the damage in our area.
