Paul, CM, and LW made it home. LW had no damage and no power. CM had some yard damage, and a fence down, and our only damage was to some of the trees in our yard. CM and our house got power this morning at 2am. Not sure about LW yet, or Z and C for that matter! TJ and I will be headed back to Houston tomorrow afternoon with the kids after a full week's stay here with my mom. It was a very nice and comfortable stay, and felt quick! But I will be looking forward to getting back into a familiar routine...of some sort. JSC doesn't open again till Monday. We haven't heard when Anna's day care will open. Paul's clinic is still without power. There was some damage, strangely, to an inside wall that looked like something banged up against it somehow. Also strangely, some inside ceiling tiles came down, but no water inside. All equipment is good, and no flood damage, so WHEW! We will have to figure out what route to go to fix that wall, though. At least it won't stop the clinic from re-opening when power is back. People are already calling Paul for appointments! In the meantime, we wonder if we have any insurance that might help recover the week of lost income? Hmmm...
Southwest actually called to cancel my flight to DC, as if to validate the decision I made to not go.
Above are some pics Paul sent us from home. Fortunately they're not dramatic. If you want dramatic, try:

In the meantime, our little snot-maker has a sinus infection. I thought I'd better get it checked out here in Austin before we go back to Houston, when who knows when she could see her doc. The doc here was super nice. It was a walk-in clinic, where the only other patients were all evacuees like us. Except they all lost some significant property in the flood, as well as pets. It wasn't as fun as the children's museum would have been.
