Well, as to whether or not it is as bad as the media says - it depends where you are. Some areas you can't tell there was a storm other than the lawn debris bagged by the curb - in Seabrook, where my uncle and cousin live, there is extensive damage. Bolivar, High Island, Crystal Beach, West End - really, really bad.

Glad your brothers are doing okay - will they be able to rebuild the bay house? Lots of people will not, because the Texas Open Beach Act means that if the tide line has moved, that land may become the state's.
