Quickly:
Jason, Mom, Dad and I are still at Clear Lake Hospital. We may be wearing out our welcome, but I am not eager to return to what I saw today. We were finally allowed to get in our house. My house in Mystic Village was untouched. Nothing. I must be the luckiest girl in the world. My parents had 2-4 inches in their main house and 1-2 feet in their guest house. Their driveway is completely impassable, which is only a big deal since it is a good 1/3 mile long. We went to the Houston Yacht Club in La Porte to check on Dad's sailboat. Minor damage there, but only one of a few left floating in the harbor. Many LARGE boats were beached on the lawn, others sunk, others half in and half out or totally missing. Quite a sight.
Honestly, all is well. Save no electricity, I wouldn't mind going home.
My boss just called and wants me at work at 7 AM. I'm one of the few who can get there. I want to go, but at the same time I am anxious to help people. I guess that will be my way of helping.
Several of our dear friends in Seabrook lost everything. It is heartbreaking and I have survivor's guilt. I got off so easy this time. I want to help as much as I possibly can....
