Glad you’re OK (other than sore and tired) and still relatively dry.

Did your power stay on? How did your truck fare, and your fish?

If you ever go to sell your house, it should be worth big bucks, as it didn’t flood.

It was the weirdest thing. My street and the next over did not flood. Everywhere else did.

I did not lose power. Areas around me did. Water never got high enough to tnreaten our vehicles.

Underneath 610 at s. Post Oak I saw a flooded out fire truck just abandoned, alone. Not the same one that got stuck on my street.

It was surreal. I was tired. Drove to my daughter’s school. It is a few blocks from the bayou and received several feet of water, but by the time I got there the water had receded and folks were busy putting furniture out on the curb.

I helped a lady to her helicopter ride. Saw a lot of folks from my super neighborhood waiting for their helicopter ride. Lot of sad folks.

re: fish. I have koi, goldies, and minnows in an outside pond that fared well.Lots of debris, obviously.

Due to weather I did not feed them for several days. When I cleaned the pond today I made a gross discovery: sometime during the hurricane a bird fell in the pond, and my fish ate it. To the bone. Everything but the elbows, which was pivotal to identification, as it was in several parts.
