    nope that was a neighboring townhome complex just 25 feet from my place.

    i liked the tooth as well, but I also liked his neighbor, the Quizno's who used Frito Lays boxes to tape to the windows.

    I also found it odd that so many businesses used vans and trucks to block windows... smart I guess.

    Other comments:
    That one shot of the business under "Darque Tan" with the cars was the ONLY establishment that was still open (beside's Sunny's... which we didn't try to enter and there were no cars outside)... but that place that was open (with a neon open sign and a full parking lot) was some sort of japanese sake bar or something...

    Lots of poor homeless people walking the streets with nowhere to go.

    There were actually cars in front of Baby Dolls... guess strippers don't "hunker down"

    I've never seen a major grocery store's parking lot completely empty in Houston before, much less a Walmart. That's so crazy.

    Starting to mist over here on the west side. The lights flickered once about 45 minutes ago, but nothing since then.

    I'm over here at my parents near Bellaire and Hwy 6. Slight misting, some wind but our electricity has not been threatened.

    Things are pretty weak on the west/south west side of houston. We aren't riding the storm out anymore, we are sitting it out. We went driving on Westheimer and I think I saw a Slick Willies open. We went to Memorial hoping to find a downed tree, saw one.

    I can't believe people were genuinly worried about this storm. This was such a weak storm it ain't even funny. I didn't lose my power/water or anything for even 1 second! There are no downed trees/power lines or whatever in this area, there is not even half an inch of water, in fact, there is no water accumulating anywhere!

    Yah, well, I just hope businesses are up and running today, I am sick of sitting home doing nothing
