My house is in Sulphur/Lake Charles and that is pretty much where Rita made a direct hit. The Sulphur area especially prides itself on the large number of trees it has and now they are nearly all down. I didn't take these since I haven't been able to get back in yet, but they show enough of the damage:
People who have made it past the National Guard say the town is almost unrecognizable...
Nasty. I got back into SW Houston late yesterday and came home to a few branches on the ground, but that's it. Drive 60 miles East and it looks like Nagasaki circa '45...
God did Houston proper dodge a whale of a bullet this time around. I hope you managed to somehow miss most of the horror I'm seeing in those pics.

I was living in south miami when hurricane andrew hit and my house was completely destroyed. I know the pain you are feeling. Eventually everything will be back to normal.
