Drove to the house today. It's dry, just a bit of roof damage on one corner, other cosmetic things, but it survived. The cats are disturbed, but they'll get over it.
Me, however... Utility company says 2-3 weeks to get lights back. The storm took out both transmission and distribution systems, so they have to get the transmission system back up first, then they can get to putting lights on in the area.
Between us and East Texas, there are 800,000 customers in the dark, and that includes a lot of heavy industry, including my employer.
To the hundred of you who sent good wishes and prayers, you have my deepest thanks. Thank, friends!
