Ok.. so I've regained internet access on my Sprint Air card so here are a few updates:

My place is fine with the exception of one of the front windows being broken out. Not a big deal, got some water inside but no serious damage that I could see.

Just about all of houston is without power right now, so I still do not have power to light my plants.

When I checked on the plants last night they were very moist. And suprisingly they've grown a TON in the dark. I really can't wait to get the lights back on them. They should have enough water in their pots to last them another day. Turning off the fans and light + drowning the plants in water seems to have been a good strategy for keeping them alive. They are looking great, a little droopy but plants always seem to be a bit droopy in the dark.

Beyond that everything is fine at my house. I hope power will be restored soon so I can go back to my house and assess the damage with some more lighting, but for now everything looks about as good as it can look.

I'll give more updates with pics when I get home.

Thanks for checking in everyone.
