West side of Houston has bee pretty mild so far. We had a good batch of rain this afternoon, but it's dry again now. The kids are playing outdoors, and we hope that it continues as uneventful.

Very good friends of ours in the Spring area were out of power for a few hours today, but they're back on now.

Prayers for those who have been hit the hardest.

I'm here in Houston. I stopped by Costco today to buy some coffee for my wife, and a bag of sugar, and some vitamins.

I was in the checkout line, and the dude behind me (with two carts full of stuff) asked me why I wasn't preparing. I just smiled, and told him that these nonessential items are all I needed...why did he wait so long to prepare and have to do it all at once?

It was a madhouse, but it was fun to take a leisurely walk through there today while watching all the panicky customers dashing around looking for that one last thing...

Thanks for your prayers everyone. We'll keep as dry and cool as we can down here!
