Oh wow. Unexpected emotional burst reading your comment. *sniffles* Got power back tonight, but many services up and down, so I'm posting now in case I can't tomorrow.
Still pretty rough in the area, but I'm most concerned about Galveston. Government forced all remaining residents out because of no services at all - gas, water, power, sewer, food. So glad my grandmother didn't live to experience any of this. I road out a hurricane with her because she refused to leave home. It would traumatize her to be forced out. I've never felt glad she died until now. Strange to react this way.
