They called the IT guys and a few others back in last Wednesday and about 80% of the staff on Thursday. I work for KBR (old Kellogg) and we have 2 towers down town, a facility east of town and one west of town. I work downtown. Had a few windows blown out in the towers and the sky-walks between the the building were blown out and have plywood panels and no carpet.

About 700,000 folks still with no power and are getting a bit putout. East and SE areas are the worst hit. Galveston took it full on for the storm.

We have a long way to go and appreciate all of the help we get from all over the USA.
