Sep. 13th, 2008 02:59 pmHey, hi!
Just FYI, we were going to visit San Antonio this weekend anyway, so we just left a day early and hung out at my dad's place (he lives just north of town). San Antonio has been windy and hot, with not one drop of rain.
We've heard from neighbors who stayed in Houston - our house is fine - no windows broken, just some water coming in through the chimney when the cap blew off, and our fence is destroyed - the cats are fine, so we are fine. Our neighborhood has no electricity, and likely won't for a couple of days, so we're probably going to stay with my dad in San Antonio until it's back on.
(Seriously, no running water and 90% humidity with 90 deg temps? NOT COOL. Literally.)
MrIris's company hasn't initiated their telephone tree, so he's not expected back at the plant in Freeport, and I can use sick days or vacation days while we hang out here.
Good tequila, good music, good company on the Riverwalk. Things could have been worse for us.
We're still waiting to hear from friends who lived on the coast, at Quintana Beach and Surfside. If you've got CNN or TWC, you've seen what those places looked like even before the eye made landfall.
I'm hoping everyone is well and safe, and I'll talk to you soon.
