<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Wim & others. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I don't know about Les but I actually left Houston last Wednesday AM while Ike was not even forcast to hit Houston. Came to my sister's place in Bedford, between Dallas & Ft. Worth. Now, I'm VERY glad I did! <grin> Even though almost all of Houston with above ground transmission wires lost power, my condo complex only lost power about 5 times last night (Friday) for no more than 1-2 minutes each time while Ike was going through! It may be weeks before power is totally restored to everyone all the way down to Galveston. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm going back home as soon as the streets there are safe to do so, since I know I have power. Maybe Sunday, but probably Monday. Hope Les & all the others along the Gulf Coast are safe, too! That blasted thing was app. 600 miles wide! Huge! </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for asking. <br>Avery Todd<br></div>
