I have created this blog site, initially, to help as a supportive tool to my business. Hence the name, Project Unleashed. However, due to the impact that Hurricane Ike has had on our family, I will use it to update family and friends on our journey and status.
As of September 11th, we had evacuated our home in Seabrook, Texas in advance to Hurricane Ike's arrival to the greater Houston-Galveston area. We were fortunate to get Debra and the kids out early so that they did not have to sit in grid lock traffic. We were very lucky to have the support of Jeff and Stephanie Stefancic, who have allowed us to hold up residence in their home as we awaited the faith of ours from Ikes landfall and impact.
Yesterday, September 13th, I managed to make my way back to Seabrook to get a glimpse of the impact of Ike on our home and town. All forecasters were predicting surge from the storm to be in the area of 15-20 or so feet. We did get water in our home, about 1-2.5 feet, and have a tone of limbs and leaves down. From the initial reports and predictions, we faired well.
The next stage of our game plan is to get in touch with all of the necessary organiztaions, insurance, FEMA, and both UHCL and CCISD (our employers), to see where we are to go next. We will not be returning to our home in the immediate future as there is no power, and due to the damage done to our home. Seabrook offiicals are requesting that residents not return to the area for another 48 hours.
I will continue to post messages to this blog as to keep our family and friends updated on our journey. Thank you in advance for your prayers and support.
