Single point connections are always the last to be reconnected. Luckily........no damage to my meter, service can, weather head....etc......

I have cleaned up about 95% of my mom's place and about 80% of mine.

I did get everything out of both refrigerators and freezers before they got bad.

My oldest two daughters live on the north side of Houston and fared well even though they rode out the storm with their Mom at her mothers house here in Texas City.

Unfortunately.............all the structures outside of our levee system inside TC were destroyed...........but our levee did a good job and there was very little flooding within it.

My house is at 6.5 feet above sea level and my mothers is at 7.2. with our pumps and the levee (22 feet), we were very fortunate.

Thanks again for all the thoughts and prayers and thank you Glen for starting this thread. It has been a rough week..........but there are other people out there in our area that have it worse.

Thanks to all...............

Joel
Glad everything worked out Joel. Got 90% of my trees cleaned up and 80% of
the other mess blown around.
