I work with Christi and was lucky enough to get a phone call through to her. She wanted me to share that although Katy faired better than most of the Houston burbs, there are still many neighbors without power. Christi is one of those without power her family is safe, but has no way to communicate. Stong winds did damage to many roofs and trees in the Katy area. This was random so one neighbor is undamaged and the next may have a tree on their home. I have had an opportunity to talk to friends in Cinco Ranch, Grand Lakes and Grayson Lakes. I believe most of Grayson Lakes currently has power back on. Cinco and Grand Lakes are both hit and miss with large areas with no power. If you are trying to reach someone in these areas understand they may be uncomfortable, but most are safe.
I live in Cyfair area and they have just cancelled school for the remainder of the week.
Yesterday I was lucky enough to have a crew I work with often come to my home and secure three damaged areas on my roof. I referred them to several other friends yesterday and I know they are pretty booked up with work, however, I want to share their contact information with Michelle McCance in the hope they can help you in the next few days. Michelle call Dock Chavis @832-888-1726 this is his cell. If he does not answer leave a detailed message and let him know that Tracy and Christi from Prudential Gary Greene, Realtors gave you the number. He will get back to you as soon as he is able. ….I know how hard it is to find reputable help in times like these and sometimes it is worth the wait to make sure you work with someone reliable.
I am so glad that Christi took the time to start this blog so that we can share information during this communication challenged time. Christi you are the best!

I am in Herrritage Park subdivision, and mom and I are using c-pap machines.We finally got power back so that, we were able to breathe with machines at night.My questions are how do we get on a list for help when power goes out in future?
Our roof also sustained damage, and is leaking water in the house.FEMA said that we were on our own right now getting a tarp.We wondered if we might need boards instead and who might be able to help put those up, as we are both disabled, and my dad passed away this last December. We called 211 and FEMA to regesture and my mom said she is Encounting problems. Thanking you in advance for any infomation or helpful comments, Michelle McCance

How about an update on Katy? My son and family had minimal damage, but are staying with friends nearby who have power. When will the power be turned on?

Thanks.

My prayers are with everyone affected by Hurricane Ike in Texas and Louisiana.
I used to live in Plantation Lakes subdivision and my old boss and his family lives in Barker village subdivision in Katy Texas. I am living in Salem, Oregon and I haven’t heard anything from anyone in those areas and worried about old neighbors… so if anyone knows the condition there please leave a message here I will appreciate it.
