Happy Sunday (belated) everyone - I missed my post yesterday as I wasn't able to get back home last night due to the ongoing storm here in Houston. We had a brief break in the downpour Sunday morning and afternoon, which allowed several of us to get out and finally take stock of what damage we had in our neighborhood. I won't go into a long, detailed story here, but I will say that my family and I have been largely spared, and we cannot be more grateful for that. I apologize to those who are flood-story weary in advance, but the blog space here will have a few of these images as this is largely the only way that I can process what is happening to my city and my neighbors. With everything that has happened so far and with everything to come, I continue to remind myself that we are not the first city to go through something like this, and we will not be the last. I have seen the spirit of this city come together over this past weekend, and I know that spirit exists across our nation. Sometimes it takes the worst to bring out the best, but that best is undoubtedly still there.
