The Seelys are Safe and Sound

Hey there everbody! Just wanted to let everyone know that The Woodlands is out of power so we headed to Austin to visit Sarah and Timmy. Obviously Ike was a horrible storm, but we came out of it relatively unscathed. The house didn't suffer any damage and there was no flooding. At about 6:15 this morning I was rocking lil Webbers when all the power went out. It really wasn't that bad until mid afternoon, but you just can't imagine the stench that comes from having two babies on solid foods when there is no circulation in the house. The rain finally stopped about 4:30 so we loaded up the boys in the stroller to survey the damage. Let's just say that not everyone in our neighborhood came out of the storm as good as we did. There were multiple houses with tree damage, but I didn't notice any flooding. During our walk we met a really nice lady that informed us she had spoken with an inside source @ Entergy and the best case scenario would be 1 week and worst case was 3! Apparently the power generation plant that services The Woodlands is located in Beaumont. Because Ike was so massive the outer bands of the storm flooded our beloved plant and Gustav had taken care of the backup in Lake Charles last week. Therefore, Huntsville is the next option, but that is the 1 week scenario. That made the decision very easy to head to Austin! All that said, we really don't know when we will be back. I am assuming that Protiviti will be back online at the latest Tuesday, but Jennifer may just get to hang out with Sarah and Timmy for a little while longer.

Check back later this week for pictures of our adventures with Sarah and Timmy in Austin!
