Beryl

 I'm getting real tired of doing these Houston weather event related posts.  We all left yesterday morning going to Colorado (and JR to Alabama, more on that later).  Then last night Hurrican Beryl (only a category 1) came in at Matagorda, and then hooked northward right toward Houston.  

My phone started buzzing bright and early this morning with text groups lamenting the Beryl woes.  

Yes, I'm very glad we didn't have to "ride it out", but I also feel guilty being here where it is absolutely perfect weather.  I mean, look how gorgeous.

I got lots of pictures and updates from our neighbors, and our house looks great.  But of course we have no power, and there isn't even a timeline of when we'll get it back.  Having no power in Houston just seems like a common occurrence these days.

We don't have any news from the Galveston house (besides no power), but those houses are made for hurricanes, so we aren't really even that concerned.
