Really Good News, In One Way

A family friend and coworker got back into our hometown today, and headed out to check the McCown Family homes for us — and all is well. My parents' pool enclosure screen was torn in a couple of places, and that was all. My sister's house looked like nothing had touched it. Our house has some limbs gathered between our garage and house, and there was a shingle in the driveway — but our guy said he thinks it's from the neighbor's house.

Thank the Maker!

Power is still out in most of the city though, and so is the sewer. We're now praying and hoping those will get fixed ASAP so we can get Dad back home and into his own house (he's in the middle chemo treatments and not doing as well as we'd like). We also pray and hope our company gets power and internet ASAP so that we can get up and running without having to work from Bastrop. And another issue is that Dad's scheduled for his 4th chemo cycle this coming Thursday — and he has to be there. He may also have to stay overnight — so we just need some grace to let all these schedules and repairs fall into place so nothing ends up lacking.

We are getting reports from the Mayor at 10am, 2pm and 6pm daily — and I'm calling our houses and business every so often to see if an answering machine will pick up. Hopefully we'll hear some great news, soon and very soon.

Great news!

Mom’s house is fine. Kim and Jake’s house (which they just finished building about June or so) has water in the attic because of damage to the ridge row (or something like that). Big issue!

I’m assuming Dad’s is fine because he’ll be coming here from his evacuation site (Tyler) day after tomorrow.

Sounds like the area was really spared. I have to admit I’m glad we didn’t get to move down there.
