I talked to Rick. He and his family are ok. There are trees and power lines down everywhere. He is at his brothers and dosen't know what the status is at his house or store. He is assuming that the store is flooded and possibly the house. But they can't even try and go there due to the debris all over the road.

Talked to my Dad and brother this morning. Both are doing fine. My dad's house has no damage, and he still has all his trees. He lost power this morning at about 4:00 am. He did hear that with the amount of power outages, some people might not get electricity restored for up to 3 weeks!!!!!!!!

Just got a call from Joe, joegebff 
, He's good. He is stuck a the fire department where he works. Tree down everywhere. His dept is 5 miles from downtown Houston. No power and none in site for a while. Cell service spotted at best. No damage at all to his house 50 miles west. Two of his employees are struck at work, homes damaged with trees through them. He said minimal flooding in his area. He also said that some family/friends from up Scott's way said they were hit pretty hard and lots of cell towers down. He hopes power will come to the department quickly as it is in a upscale neighborhood. He sounded good and wanted all you to know that.

Just wanted to give an update;
I still have power, winds are gusting up to 60 mph, the eye is currently over the Huntsville area.
Scott, everything ok over there?
I have one tree down, didnt hit anything major, although my dog may not come out of his house for a month he's so scared.
So far all of my neighbors seem to be ok, cant see any major damage, but its way to windy to go out and check.
I hope everyone else is ok, I'm praying for all in the storms path.
Just remember everything but us can be replaced!!!
