Let the clean up begin...

Today, we made it back to Seabrook and the Clear Lake area. We made it to the house and Debra and I went through the house. This was Debra's first walk through. All in all, we both are very grateful and feel we fared well, especially considering many in our region lost everything.

We are very fortunate that we have had so many offers of a places to stay. It's very heart warming and refreshing to know who your friends are. We are truly blessed. For the meantime, our host for this evening is Stephanie. She was gracious to open her home to us for tonight. Tomorrow another family of 5 arrives and we will move on to Hotel Benz, in this same area. God is good and we are fortunate to have so many folks looking out for us.

The process from here is still very unclear. Tomorrow I will wake up early and head to the local POD, Point of Distribution. POD's have been set up all over the greater Houston and Galveston area. The PODS are distributing bottled water and ice. Since all of the stores have yet to be replenished, we will take advantage of the support.

After my early am POD visit, I will go back to the house and take additional pictures for insurance purposes. We will then ready our garage for storage, and possible living quarters once the electricity comes back on and the work and repairs to our home begins.

In the mean time if you want to contact us, email is best to rklinger@mtran.com. I am able to get messages on my phone. Data communications are much better here than voice at this time.

Happy trails....pass the broom, watered down bleach, and saw!
