I figured I better blog since the last time I did we were anticipating the storm of the year. Maybe you would think we were blown to bits and no longer standing. Well the truth is...Saturday was another typical Texas day...97 degrees hot and humid!! We did not see ANY effects of the storm that ravaged Houston and Corpus only 200 miles away. Weird. No rain, no clouds, less wind than normal.
Today we have a gorgeous cold front that was a pleasant surprise. It was only 70 this morning and it has only gotten up to 83 today!! What a relief. Of course everything for Saturday had been cancelled, even school got out early on Friday for us to prepare for the end. But luckily for San Antonio it was not to be.
Now we find ourselves as host city to the thousands of evacuees from Houston and Galveston for who knows how long. They need your thoughts and prayers, because from what I've heard and seen it was really bad and will be for quite some time. As with Katrina there have been a lot of people here that are not going to go back. Their houses are gone, their neighborhoods are leveled, the schools are flooded, there is no power, there is no water, there is nothing for them. And so we welcome them with open arms to our city and help them in any way that we can. Chins up...we'll all get through it.

Thanks for the update. I was wondering if you ended up with any effects of the storm.
