One of my friends in Houston considered himself really really lucky. His fence has some damage that will have to be repaired, but that was it. His biggest problem is the eight power lines that were down outside his house. Since he is still without power, his family moved in with his mother. She is just a few miles from the power station has power. He did say that there were a lot of families sleeping in cars to get AC since the power was out for something like 2M people.
