Northwest Houston Storm Damage

Like me, my roommate fled to her parents' home for the hurricane, which is near the home of my parents in the northwest Houston area. She sent the following update today on her Hurricane Rita experience, including pictures of the damage.

I know a lot of you have been worried, but I want to let you know that I am
doing ok after the hurricane. The damage to my parent’s house was just awful!
Thank goodness the city was shut down for 5 days so everyone could
evacuate…
