Pops went to work at about 1:30. He texted a message to me telling me to check the house, if I am going home today. We still didn't have any power when he left.
Mom says that they have low water pressure, and can't use the bathroom. The city is operating on one water pump. Since the storm has passed us, they are working on bringing the employees back to work to start the other pump.
Kemah, Galveston, Galveston Bay and other coastal cities in Texas are under water. Most of the hurricane damage is there. Houston, however, still suffered a lot of structural damage. The Louisiana coast also suffered some major damage and flooding. This wasn't as powerful as originally expected, but still a devastating storm in any instance. There were some deaths, and some people actually had to be rescued from attics and rooftops.
I probably have to stay here through tomorrow, and then I will probably be released Sunday evening. There is still a lot of high water surrounding the airport, and many of us cannot leave even if we wanted to. After I have a chance to check out my own home, I will do an update.
