Due to our location right in between a fire station and a police station, we got our power on very quickly. So we returned home yesterday. Here are pictures from our return home, as well as a little of the damage to our home. Luckily, the damage was very minimal. We did lose all of the hubby's fish in his 175 gallon salt water tank, so that was a fun smell to come to. YUCK! There are still a ton of our neighbors without power. The gas lines are crazy! What an experience!

I'm sorry that there was any damage at all, but I'm glad it was minimal - and that you were safe. Good luck with the cleanup.
i too am so glad that you guys were safe. i can't get any pictures. is it just me??
Welcome home. I can't get any pictures either...it says "image cave, Bandwidth exceeded" for each of them.
bummer about the photos! i'll upload them to photobucket and try again.
Glad you are home and the damage was minimal. That gas line was crazy!! Did you have to wait in that line???
Thanks for not posting photos of the dead fish! ... It's amazing FM 1314 even was passable. I've seen worse flooding than that through there from much smaller storms. ... How in the WOLRD did the ceiling in your living room get cracked?
Poor fishies! I am glad that your house is okay and what sweet friends you have to clean your yard. I am glad above all that your family was safe.
I bet our fridge smelled comparable to your dead fish... do you need help with the ceiling, not that I would know how, but...?
