I've talked to a few people in our neighborhood who say that our house is fine - particularly the windows and the roof. There are some limbs down and apparently part of our fence is down as well. All in all it seems like we have escaped the worst of it. There was no flooding in our neighborhood. We have heard reports that some houses in our neighborhood have had water coming in under his windows and doors, so we still might have a little clean up to do when we get home.
There is currently no power in our neighborhood and the water pressure is very low. The city is advising people to boil their water. I would love to go home and see if there is any damage inside, but I don't really want to sleep there without power.
In the meantime, the boys have been having a lot of fun playing with their cousins. We expected heavy rain and winds here in Austin, but now they are predicting only a 30% chance of rain, so we might not even get a drop. After Charlie wakes up from his nap we will probably get out of the house and go play somewhere.

Dear Shelley,
So glad to read that you all are safe & sound. Thanks for the blog! I have been thinking about you a lot, & praying that you would escape the brunt of Ike. Here's hoping that the house did not fare too badly, & that you all can go back home soon ... with the 'luxury' of power & water.
Hugs,
Kathy
