I'm up in Dallas and we got a decent wind and rain throughout the afternoon (25-40 mph gusts), but virtually no damage. Worse was out to the east of us around Tyler, TX, and east to Shreveport, LA. I talked to my brother this morning in Houston on cell phone, and his place on the west side of the city was fine, just lost a small tree and a couple fence panels. power went out around 11:30 last night, and will be out for who knows how long. Just looking at pics and knowing the area, Galveston is probably pretty well wiped out for the short term. Lost homes will be in the thousands for sure. No word on loss of life, though.
