Did you know how we are getting back to normal one week after Ike?
A friend of ours was attending college in Galveston. They have been transferred out and are getting set up on another campus this week. He emailed me today and asked if things are getting back to normal. Well, somewhat. Many traffic lights are still out, not everyone has electricity and phones and internet are still unreliable. School won't start back for another week.
It has been a bit "weird" going to the grocery stores. This is such a common event that when you don't have any around you open, it seems weird. And then when they do open, seeing all the cold and frozen cases completely empty seems a bit strange. Many of the stores have done a great job of getting supplies in. Now most common items are available; bread, ice, some milk, some meat and even some "local" ice cream. But it is a weird sight to see such empty shelves and freezers throughout the store.

That was quite upsetting to the normal routine, wasn't it, but getting back toward normal must be a comfort, knowing that you made it through OK. I do feel bad for those who lost so much to the storm.
yes, there are many around here that will take some time before they can get back to normal. the grocery store today was pretty nearly fully stocked!
