Well, we're back home in Houston and the worst damage at La Casa Johnnymac was a whole lot of branches and leaves in the yard. It looks like the most work we're going to have to do will be moving furniture back and pulling everything out of the garage that got crammed in there when we evacuated on Thursday. I guess I will take that relative to inventorying things for an insurance adjuster and rummaging around in piles of rubble trying to find my college diploma. Things could have been a lot worse.

The trip home yesterday wasn't bad at all. Originally, Mrs Johnnymac and I were planning on leaving Austin at first light this morning, but yesterday around 2:00 the traffic reports looked OK and a phone call to our neighbors revealed that we had power at the house so we decided to go ahead and get home. There was no traffic at all and what took 10 hours on Thursday took 3.5 hours yesterday. I tried to avoid I-10 and 290, so after La Grange we hit the back roads into Bellville and Katy and took Clay Road into town and on to our house. No problem at all. I am glad we skipped Columbus, because apparently it was one of the few backups that existed yesterday. We hit a little bit of traffic in Bellville yesterday, but nothing like the mess that was there Thursday and we probably would not have even noticed it had it been any other Sunday.

And because I don't have much to do at work this morning, I made a map of our route this weekend:



So we're back home.
