omorkaWell, I started this post at 9:30, and then the power blipped and I lost it, so I'm going to give a very quick version and then turn the computer back off.
Landfall appears to have been at 7 am between Jasper and Beaumont, well east of us. We've been getting 65 mph gusts but no serious threat of tornadoes, according to the weather radio. No serious flooding in our area. Downed tree limbs, loose leaves, and roof shingles are everywhere, but no larger structural damage to any of the buildings on our block that we can see. I'm worried about our carport and some of these downed limbs, though, as well as the two cars parked in the open in our driveway.
Still have power, phone, and water, at least for the moment, although as I mentioned the power has blipped several times throughout the morning. Seriously doubt we're going to lose running water, as the flooding really hasn't been severe.
We're still here! (And quite tired - we've been taking turns catnapping while the other monitors the radio.)
I think the worst is probably over - the wind's coming from north and west rather than north and east, and is shifting further west with each new squall band.
