So many trees were completey uprooted!
Bambi was okay!
This was just a small tree!
We drove over a few powerlines on our first trip home1
We have so many things to be grateful for... God's provision for us was sweet. We evacuted Thursday morning and came to Tyler. It is hard to know when to evacuate but we were so thankful we did!! We drove down yesterday (Monday) because we heard we had power again and our water was back on, however it was chaos. There were only a few gas stations up and those that were had 50-100 cars lined up at them! We only saw two grocery stores open and they were way picked over with their cold section roped off. So we took some extra gas to friends (The Shiflets) who still had no power and told them to stay at our place. We grabbed some more clothes and headed back to Tyler. The devastation was sad but made us so thankful for God's gracious provision for many! ON the way to Tyler (in Crockett) we passed the National Guard going towards Houston (I guess to help reinforce the curfew)? We are so thankful but will continue to pray for those who are still without power and water and damage to their homes!!!

Have been thinking about you and praying for your family. Hope all is going well in Tyler. Please keep us posted.
Ditto what the other gals have said...I have ran into a few moms this week who are on 'unexpected' vacations w/ their kids. I listen to their stories and try to empathize but there is no way I can know how you all are feeling. I am grateful that you are with your family and hope that you are able to return to Houston soon. :)
