Evacuees in CC

We decided to head west to avoid Ike's path and are in sunny Corpus Christi.  Stayed up all night watching the news coverage on the storm.

A friend of mine who stayed went to check on my home.  He stated my street is un-drivable and looks like a forest.  I had 10-15 50" pines surrounding my home.  Many of them fell, 3 of them directly on it.  One went through the roof.  He did not report any flooding.  I am not sure when I will be able to get back home, but currently I am very grateful to have one...
