Around 4pm yesterday, we saw that Friendswood had released a statement that the evacuation order had been lifted and people were allowed to return. Most of Houston and all of Galveston island were still not allowing people to return. So we decided to pack up and head back to avoid the rush of people returning.
We left Dallas about 6pm and soon discovered that I45 South was closed from Ennis (a half hour outside of Dallas) to Houston. So we were re-routed to I35 to Waco and took Hwy 6/US 290 home. There were only a couple of bottlenecks and we made it home at 1:30am. We were able to top off the gas tank in College Station and still have 3/4 full tank of gas which should carry us until the stations around here are refueled and operational again (in a few days I expect).
There was almost no physical storm damage in my area. A few localities lost power, but most of it has been restored in my area (and certainly in my neighborhood).

I too am happy to read that you and your family are safe and sound and returned to a home. If only the same could be said for other families.
This hurricane season has been more damaging and stressful than others and from the experts we’re entering into an anticipated decade of the same or worse.
Warmly,

The last I heard on TV was that, until hurricane season ends at the end of November, there is still plenty of trouble ahead. And to think that my daughter is talking about getting married in Miami during next year's hurricane season! Oh well. She knows that I think that she's crazy.
