I think we all have power again...thank you God...we are spoiled yes, and like I said before...we love it. The stores in our area are not open their normal hours yet, every day more and more seem to be getting back to normal a little more, but the grocery stores just aren't the same...cheese seems to be a luxury now...lol...but at least we can find it most of the time.
Everyone I've talked to so far, has minor damages, lots of trees, but minor, with one exception that I know of. Naomi's husband, Mike...his father and brother who "lived" in San Leon. Their home is still physically intact, but it was severely flooded from Ike and is no longer liveable. They have salvaged what they could from the upstairs, and they are physically ok, but they for now are living with Naomi and Mike in Pasadena. Mike's dad is not in very good shape health wise, he's on oxygen and various other breathing machines, so not having power was difficult for him. He was able to connect to a neighbors generator with an extension cord to help as much as possible with his breathing problems. But he says it's a lot better than sleeping on the hood of his car, which he did for a brief time. Nobody's landlines or cell phones worked for awhile, so finding someone was a bit difficult.
Mike's dad is trying to work with FEMA for a temporary housing situation. But for right now, he'll be with Naomi and Mike, as will be Mike's brother, Aaron, but they're alive and well...just displaced right now.
If you know information of others, please let me know, so I can post it for everyone's benefit.
I believe some in LA. had some flooding, but not sure about the extent of damages, etc.
Thanks a lot.
Cindy
