hurricane IKE update: part 2

[y] we drove around the area to check on our condo, church, and my office. in the westchase area, street lights are either not working or are flashing. there are tree limbs littering the streets and some broken windows in various office buildings. our church (access) was totally ok and there was still electricity also. my office building seemed fine (no broken windows), although i couldn't go inside. our condo suffered some water damage. we had to tear up the upstairs carpet because it absorbed a lot of water from a leak in the roof or window. but thankfully, the previous tenant had just moved out a few weeks prior and it was empty. we'll need to spend some money fixing it up so we can rent it out or sell it, but that's nothing in the grand scheme of things when you watch the news and see the devastation in galveston and hear that the majority of houston is without electricity.
here are some pictures that we took during our drive around the area today after hurricane ike...

Are you guys planning on sticking around for a while? When do you go back to work? Are you coming in late Sept?
