It was with shock that we watched the hurricane progress in Texas this past week. We stayed in Port Isabel last year, right over the causeway from South Padre Island, so we were familiar with the places shown in the news.
I've been on a few of their local blogs this week reading about the damage. In the park where we stayed, Winter Texans from all over are writing in and offering their generators, propane, whatever anybody in the park needs. It is enlightening to read all the good things, but sad to read about the damage throughout the towns.
One of the shrimp boats that dock on the other side of the Intercoastal Waterway got loose and hit the swing bridge to our park, so the bridge was closed for a bit and no one could get off or on except by boat! This is a photo from our deck showing the shrimp boats.
Thankfully the levees in the valley held and not many people were injured or killed. They are saying there won't be power until August 2nd in some places, so the concern is mold as it is hard to dry everything out with no air conditioners.
The aftermath is more brutal than the event. Take care Texans and we will see you soon.
