Hello all. I was able to get out and about (picked up some stuff that I needed to clean up and make do with less). Below will be some pics of area damage in and around Houston. By the time that Ike hit H-town it was a weak Cat 2 hurricane, but still caused plenty o'damage.
Just a quick note on picking a generator. I chose the Honda EU series as it not only among the quietest on the market (57-59 dB depending on model size, but it is one of the most energy efficient and you can actually plug a computer straight into it (but I would suggest using a UPS in between, though). Yes, it is considerably more expensive, but you would hardly know that you have this one.

Damage typical of far too many intersections in Houston.
Trees falling down all over. One got this fence. Counting the rings of the trees on this property showed that the pines (almost all of the trees that fell on this property were pines) were 80-95 years old.
Piles of debris and treetrunks 6 foot high and more than 100 feet long left after partially cleaning up the above property.
The same property with the damage covered up temporarily (the stump showed that tree to be 80+ years old).

Another Houstonian looks on.
The Hi_ton suffered some damage too.
