See Rita's Fury!

I told you all I would have some photos for you to see. Don't worry, I won't bore you with ALL of them, but I'll just give you a few.

First I'll show you some pictures of our house/neighborhood. Here is the tree in our backyard that blew over on top of our house, but it didn't do any damage, so that's good. I think the high wind pulled off a roof cap (or whatever those things are called), but that's minor...no biggie!



This picture was taken from the back porch, and as you can see we are able to look into our neighbor's backyards. Rita blew over all our fences.



But not all was lost with the down fences. This day we did not have electricity, and it was in the upper 90's outside. Needless to say, we were all beyond overheated. Our neighbor's weren't home, so we decided to use their pool to cool off!



Here is a picture in Kountze, TX taken off Hwy 69 headed south into Lumberton. As you can see, one of the traffic lights is down, and to the left, you'll see some building damage.



And lastly, here is a picture of Hollywood Theaters on Dowlen Road in Beaumont, Texas. Yikes!



Even though I was pulled away from my home for over a week, I did have a good time in Quitman. I got to see my best friend, Heidi and her adorable family. I took some pictures of her little cutie pie children, and I'll be sharing them with you in an upcoming post. Talk to you all soon!
