Well, I'm doing great. Got in from College Station about an hour ago. Wanted to stay up there for another day since school/work doesn't start for me till Wednesday, but someone wanted me home. Bleh. All we got up there was wind and sideways rain. It rained for a good part of Saturday. Cleared up yesterday and the weather today was oh so orgasmic. High of 75-ish* with cloud cover after 3 months of 90*+ highs. Weather for the rest of the week for southeast Texas should be pretty peachy with a high of around 80*.
A big chunk of Northwest Houston (Cypress, Champions Forest, etc)is still without power. A couple of gas stations are trying to gouge customers at $4/gal for regular 87 octane. Once reported in, those profits they made and then some will go towards a fine that they'll be receiving from the government. A lot of fallen trees here and there. People are lined up an waiting around gas stations and fast food restaurants that may have anything left to offer. Pretty empty out there on the roads. Cops are out and about pretty hardcore. Luckily my apt complex has clean, running water, and electricity. My gf's parents should be getting their power back by the end of the week even though they're only about 2 miles down the street from me. So yeah, north side is in pretty good condition. I heard the south side of town is pretty fcuked up though. Last time I heard from Death was when he sent me a text message early Saturday morning say, "WHOO HOOO! EYE OF THE STORM!" and D-man's been calling me and checking up with things (appreciate it). I'm not sure about everyone else though. :\ 2 million+ people are still without power and some with running water. Here are some pics from a local news station. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26643689/displ.../framenumber/1/ Galveston got pretty raped and torn up. I don't really feel all that bad for those that decided to stay and later regretted it. -------------------- -Alex {](O_o)[}
