I don't think some people realize what a close call it was for us with this hurricane. We in Atascocita all have power, never lost water and sure, gas is iffy, but it's slowly but surely coming in. For the most part, life in Atascocita is back to normal. Not 20 minutes from my house though, things drop off sharply. For those of you that know the local geography, my treck to Beaumont took me east on 1960. Once I passed Huffman, it was like someone hit a light switch. There is no power at all in the area, and in Liberty the National Guard has an 18-wheeler handing out ice to anyone that needs it. Sure, the destruction grows as you head east, but not that far from where life is mostly back to normal there arestretches of road where power poles are laid over almost touching the highway.
