We live in west Houston (between the Galleria and Westchase, for those of you who know). We were without power for a week. We had lots of canned goods, but an electric stove. (A minor oversight! LOL) Our apartment did not sustain any damage, though. There is a retirement home across the street from us, I felt so bad for those people because they didn't have electricity either. We kept seeing ambulances going in and out of there when it was really hot. My mom lives in La Porte, a bit north of Galveston, she lost a tree and some shingles. Some of my friends in the Heights area and my in-laws who live towards Katy still don't have power.
