Last night we ended our day of hard work with a fire in our fire pit roasting marshmallows using our fence as firewood.
Today if you look in our backyard it would be hard to tell there was a hurricane (except for the propped up fences). A drive around the area though leaves no doubt that a hurricane came through. Most grocery stores are beginning to open in our area though some of the supplies are limited I hear. A few gas stations are opening too as power is being restored. We drove past a couple with no lines. It is amazing that people up north Houston and in our area don't have power, the estimate for some is first part of October.
I have been very impressed with how Houston has handled themselves during this recovery. Where FEMA hit glitches the city and city governments have stepped in. Neighbors are helping neighbors. We headed over to a friends house to clear their yard since they are still out of town only to find their neighbors had cleared and bagged the debris already. Our church still does not have power but is sending teams to help people. We know of a few members personally who have lost their homes. Kristal is still without power and we are thankful that the only loss she has suffered so far is all her food in the refrigerator.
