The freeways were empty, the weather beautiful and the damage in most of Houston, little to none. We were lucky. The authorities seem to have a good plan in place to get everyone back that will hopefully curb the mad rush/road rage/chaos that characterized a lot of the evacuation efforts. Some other good news is that the SnapStream office was completely unharmed by the hurricane. I drove over shortly after I got into town and there was no flooding, roof damage or any other type of damage. We're getting some of our internal systems back up and running (some of which we had moved offsite for protection from the hurricane) and should be 100% back up by tomorrow, Sunday. One thing is for sure: it's really, really nice to be home!
