Sassyrox - I'm actually heading to Austin tomorrow so I'm glad it missed there!

CAP - in Houston a lot of people's power is out. When I checked yesterday they predicted it could take 2-3 weeks to restore power to a lot of the city.

Etain -

Glad you can make it down...it's supposed to be a gorgeous week!

Alot of the towns in East Texas have been affected by the power loss....my mother lives in Trinity about 90 miles north of Houston and since it's a little bitty podunk town, they might now have their power back for 18-21 days! YIKES!!

Hi guys, I got my power back on like 3 days ago but our phone line was down and it just got turned back on, so i haven't been able to get online : (...... my highschool has been closed for 3 days cause all of New Richmond doesn't have power yet : )

I've been so happy staying home in this nice weather but i hear that Duke power company may have ALL the power back on soon : (

Great news today....Mom called and "the boondocks" have their power back. YEA!!

The bad part was I'd just spent $120 on a "goodie" box that I was sending to them tomorrow. You know that could only happen to me. What can't be returned is being sent on though - might as well make as many points with the parental unit while I can.

Cheers everyone!!
