The Houston Camachos are OK

I just spoke with Frank. The night was scary because of the tremendous wind. Their house in the SW Houston area has some areas of leakage but no broken glass. Their backyard fence, as well as their neighbor's fence, is destroyed. They lost power at about 2AM and do not expect to have power for awhile. They have plenty of food and water, and that's a good thing, because there is a huge tree down and blocking the exit from their subdivision. Good that the landline phones still work. It is comforting to be able to talk to them. They do have a battery-operated small TV and radio, as well as the kids' MP3 players that have all the techno gadgets. Frank is pretty sure his rental house in Galveston is gone, however. The tenants had evacuated, thankfully, but he is feeling that there is not anything left there.
