As this hurricane is winding down for us I wanted to see how everyone else fared. I am assuming if you can reply to this you are not in horrible shape and I think we are all thankfully for that. I am also sure that there are many who are not in the position to spend time on the internet and we need to keep them in our thoughts as well.
I live in Copperfield and have been very lucky. I think that most of us here in Copperfield are mostly dry and with power. Although there seem to be dozens of us with leaky fireplaces. I have never even used my fireplace and it is leaking into my living room. Thankfully I quick run through with the Shop-Vac drains the water and stops it from running my floor any more. From looking at maps I think my area of the neighborhood is higher than almost all of Houston and I have not seen the water even get to my grass. It has only gotten about 2/3 up the curb down my street, and watching my drainage ditch/creek it has not been much higher than ½ full. Again, we have been super lucky.
I am a teacher and have been checking on the schools here in Cy-Fiar and it seems that Cy-Ranch High School and Bridgeland High School are not going to come out of this in good shape.
So how is everybody? Friends? Family? Is there anything we can do to help each other?
Hope you are all dry and safe,
Robert Lee
