Rode out Hurricane Rita

[NASCARandJoshFan88]

And I will never do that again. That night, I heard noises I never heard before. According to my aunt, "It sounded like a demon outside." There were ten of us at my house- my dad, my mom, my brother, me, my aunt, my uncle (who was going to ride out the storm in Bridge City), my cousin, my grandparents, and their neighbor. We had a tree fall on our fence, branches broken, our hot tub cover blow back and forth, and a lost chimney cap. Sunday was extremely hot and steamy. On Monday, we decided to go somewhere. We ended up in the Woodlands, just outside of Conroe. My aunt, uncle, and cousin picked up my cousin's finance and went to Florida. My grandparents and their neighbor are going home tomorrow.

Thank God you all survived!! I wondered how many of our forum family were directly affected by the hurricanes. Hopefully you can return to normal soon. Take care . . .

When the cap off our chimney flew off and hit the house, flashlights went on in every room. My dad could barely sleep, because he was worried that the roof would blow off the house. It didn't though. My brother and my grandparents' neighbor slept through the whole thing.
I'll post some pictures of Bush road (a road we live near) and damage around our house soon. I will also post pictures of damage in my grandparents' neighborhood.

WOW! So glad you're ok. I have family in League City (South of Houston) and they evacuated to Austin. One drive took 14 hours and the other 16 hours! They had no damage whatsoever though. Very greatful for that!
