My brother and his house are fine! They have power and water as of yesterday. My SIL said that there were signs down, roofs destroyed, fences down all over the neighborhood, but fortunately their house was untouched.
DH's brother and his wife, that are staying with us, live on the coast about 40 miles east of Galveston and they can't return home yet. No power, water, sewer. There is no gas and no groceries stores are available. But BIL's work (he works for the state) wants him to return to work on Tuesday- where is he supposed to stay? And what is he supposed to do for gas to get to work if he uses most of what he has to get home? His wife will stay with us until there is power- she's a scrapper so we will be working on my swaps together!
