It looks like some parts of Houston are starting to get power again but overall it is a mess out here. In the midtown area the streets are scattered with broken light fixtures which were blown off when the hurricane passed. The power company is working hard to get power back online. This morning the power came on for less than a minute, we heard the neighbors cheer and then a large BOOM down the street followed by darkness once again. We did find a coffee shop which was still open that provided some relief for those is us without power. The bayous here have flooded quite significantly and police have closed off roads which have underpasses. Some stores that have power are starting to reopen and sell non perishable goods only. This will definitely be a relief to those who have run out of charcoal from grilling or were not prepared. The Houston Galleria mall will reopen today as well for those that want to shop till they drop.
