Houston is pretty well up to speed. Galveston still has a lot of work to do and I don't know if Bolivar will ever be back. The Strand was hit pretty hard and is coming back. The railroad Museum and an old aircraft museum had some one of a kind planes destroyed. Some of the ones that were flyable were flown out. The sailing ship, Elissa, has some minor damage and being repaired.

Even in Houston there are still a number of "Blue tarp" roofs still to be seen. People without the money or cannot afford the deductible to get it fixed.

This storm hit at a very bad time, not that anytime was good, due to the economy going belly up about the same time. People needing the money to make repairs and instead, they were let go from their jobs.

We are in far NW Houston...25 miles NW of downtown. So we did not get hit so hard except for the damage from falling trees. We had the tops out of two large oak trees but no home or RV port damage. House down the street had 3 trees in it and was a tare down and rebuild.

Hope this hurricane season is better fro us than the last one. Three large storms hit the Texas coast.

Yep, QRZ has a world of people that like to hide behind the internet. I have ask a couple of questions over there and got good answers and read some good product reviews. But much like a lot of things, all it take to ruin a barrrel of apples is one bad one.
