We got back from Austin yesterday afternoon, and were relieved to find practically nothing happened around where we live.
All the children were back playing outside, and Natalie next door was entertaining her friends- sort of a post-near-disaster party. It's a bit soggy - a few ceiling tiles fell down - but the power only went out for about 6 hours, so our stash of frozen Parmesan is safe. Lucky break all around.
For those who travel, I recommend Austin enthusiastically- especially if you can stay up late enough for the music. The food is varied, they have museums and (we heard) a university, and there's open water swimming in the park.
I'm so glad you're back home safe and sound, with the minimum of damage to hearth, home, and refrigerator.
