Houston, Saturday, September 24, 2:15 pm

NEAL: It's hot, windy, and cloudy now, but the rain has stopped. Lots of neighbors are out cleaning up fallen branches. I drove around major streets for a while looking for gas and/or food ... no gas, but I found a C-store that still had some frozen burritos. So we had a lunch of sorts.

The official return plan (as defined by which sectors of the city that are supposed to have gas) says that the northwest sector, where we are, is supposed to have gas tomorrow. If true, we might go back to Brazoria tomorrow. But we still don't know about the electric power situation down there, so we can't go until we find out.
