Driving North to Crockett, Texas where we tried to get away from the storm (I really wanted to stay to watch the festivities from my roof with my shotgun and a canoe, but my vote got vetoed)
Driving south back to Houston. Notice any difference in the weather? We were greeted in Houston with flash flooding. Luckily the ground was completely saturated by this point from the 15 inches of rain dropped by Ike. 
Sorry this pic is a little blurry. Beware all northerners (or Yankees) as we're called down here). There are about to be a million cars from the south for sale. They may not have rust but at one point most of them were flooded. This is a car dealership along the I-45 freeway. 
I guess if the food is too spicy at this Mexican Kitchen you can always go for a quick dip in the pool in the parking lot to cool off! Good luck figuring out what restaraunt it is, the sign is probably in Lousiana somewhere.
My back yard, it looks a little bigger without the fence to block your view. The trees although still standing (nice) were pushed about 2 inches in the ground towards the house.

Thanks for posting more shots so that we can understand what it is that you actually weathered.
Glad you are/ were safe!
Do you have power yet?
We're so glad to see that the worst at your house was only the fence! Don't worry Ben - Larry would have been on your side with riding out the storm with his shotgun on the roof with you! Miss you guys a ton - so glad that your safe and sound!
Great backyard, by the way! We love the little "zen garden" thing happening back there.
These shots are incredible. The Lord really protected your home.
I am also glad the roof/shotgun idea got veto-ed. :)
Hello! Where are pics of your fall decor?!? PS - Garden Ridge is about to have a big sale!
Real glad you guys are al safe and sound! Give me a call if you need a hand - I'll get in a car and come down.
