[Bordermarch] Baytown update

[Phocas]

Greetings,

   I just finished a move to Baytown and rode this one out. We were actually in one of the evacuation zip codes for Baytown.   After being near ground zero for Rita and one of the first back in after Rita, things in the Baytown area don't look too bad at all.  Not near so many trees down.  Yes, the media is making things look aweful by showing people the worst.  No power yet hear. Lyllianne said some parts of Lumberton had power, parts of Houston are getting power by the hour. Most of Katy has power now.  Areas south-east of Houston may be the longest befoer they get power as they took the most damage.  La Porte seems to be hit a little hard and they have police limiting who can get into La Porte.  Many people in areas are having trouble with cell phones, east side of Bordermarch is having lots of connect problems as is La Porte (where I'm getting internet access through Texas Parks and Wildlife comm center running on generator). My Verizon seems to be doing great on the east side of Baytown.

 Anyone who evacuacted the Baytown area who would like me to check on thier place, give me a call and I'll try to get by and see. It might be a day or two before I have internet access again so calling would be best.
