If you’re curious what life is like after a hurricane, there are some unbelievable photos here and here and here that capture the devastation fairly well. It’s been a rough week so far. The apartment complex where Justine and I live has rented a giant generator to supply power to the building for crucial things like AC, light and refrigeration.
We still do not have running water or electricity to the whole apartment. Yet we both feel lucky to have what we have.
There are millions (yes, literally millions) of people without electricity or water in the greater Houston area. Many of our friends are in the same boat.
I’ve been putting in a lot of hours at work and am pretty beat. Justine and I had the first “real” meal tonight at a local restaurant that was open for business. I drank my margarita so fast I think I shocked the waitress. That’s ok, they made more margaritas.
I hope the lives of all my friends and colleagues return to normal in the weeks and months to come.
I heard someone say “It’s a good thing Texans are tough.”
Yep, it sure is.
