Got an email from my friend, in Houston, a little while ago.
They have running water now, still not safe to drink ... but they aren't using rain water to flush with anymore.
Their generator is working well, they have checked on the neighbors and all are ok, she's wearing a gun on her hip even in the house.
She said her husband and sons have always made fun of her for going "overboard" for hurricane preparedness.....but they aren't making fun of her anymore.
Her husband works for one of the oil companies, and he's been at work since yesterday, they're trying to get back up to where they are supposed to be.
She wants to try an MRE.....her son thinks she's crazy ....he's done 2 tours in Iraq.
At least they are safe and that's again thing.
