I wish that the hospitals could have gotten some ice for their morgues but no. My sister finally found a funeral home with a generator that could take my uncle's body (it was at the hospital with no power for 2 days, I don't want to think about that) and the place is down at the Ship Channel. We told her to take a guard with her tomorrow when she goes to plan the obituary and shipment of his body to Austin for burial. They don't know when they can get it there, maybe this weekend, but since our daughter's wedding is this weekend--we'll miss the funeral.

Funny how something like this hurricane can change everything. He had his whole funeral plan made out and paid for and now he's not at that place and his plans are all messed up. Our aunt died during the tropical storm in July but at least the storm didn't majorly interfere with her burial.

We are devastated by the destruction of Crystal Beach but this is so much worse.

Sorry for the long rant but it seems that as often as Houston gets hit by storms, the hospitals and funeral homes would have had backup power plans.
