Ike Update

Here is an update from the Lake Jackson city website. It looks like the damage may not be too bad, but there is no power. And this says it may be weeks. Great. We are still just very thankful we are here in FW where there is air conditioning! We don't know when we will go back. Hopefully the trees that are down are not down on our house. Even though we know there was not major damage, it is still a little hard to not know how our house is.

"We know that you are anxious to return to the City and check out your property. Let me first mention that structural damage to property has been minimal. However, we have a substantial number of trees and power lines down. Watch for down power lines and please treat all these down lines as energized.
There is no power in the city and none is expected for the next several days. We are told it could take weeks to fully restore power to the city. City Crews have been working to clear our streets of debris. There are no businesses open in the city. We do have city water, but sewer service is limited.
Our plan is to review the status of our recovery efforts and power restoration and then determine as to when to invite residents to return.
If you are in a cool place, that is preferable to what we have here. We urge you to please stay where you are until we have services fully restored."
