I left Alabama after Ivan and 3 more after Ivan. Now I'm in Katy, just west of Houston and I wish I stayed up north. We still have all of Sept. to deal with and Sept. is usually more active. We'll just have to see what happens.The water here is pretty much gone now, but all around me is flooded. I least we can get to the store, which is a mad house of course, but none the less we can get food. The water here has never been shut down.
Over in Alabama we didn't have electricity for 3 weeks. I got so tired of listing to generators running I left and came over to Katy until it settled down a bit. I Moved over here and got out of Alabama just in time. I was here for 3 years and there were still houses on the market over where I sold 3 years ago. There are still houses for sale over there, half the price that I got for mine.
Anyway, it going to take years for this recovery .
I really don't know what I'll do next. The housing has died down, so I'll have time to think about it. I really can't see myself in a few more years and 80 years old, running around putting plywood up. Time will tell.
Later.
