All ok after Hurricane Patricia

We are fine here.  We were a little scared with everything that you see on the weather news but it ended up going around us.  We had a lot of wind and rain for an hour yesterday and just rain the rest of the early part of the day.  No rain last night and just drizzle this morning.  Went for a 10,000 step walk this morning around the neighbourhood to see if there was any damage but just a lot of mud on the streets in the construction areas but the rest of the streets are fine.
You can see pictures on line of streets under water as well as Olmos golf course.  Those streets.. Basse, Mccullogh etc are about a mile or so from where I work.  They go under water all of the time if it rains.  One Zumba night... it started to rain just as zumba started - lasts an hour and then I drove home and those same streets and golf course were under water.  There is a big Aquaduct that drains into that area and puts it under all of the time.
I saw streets under water up in Dallas and that makes sense since the path of Patricia went that direction.  We are in the South of San Antonio so didn't even get much of the Rain.  Grass is still brown but we have a few days now that we don't have to try and water it.
Thanks everyone for the emails, texts and phone calls.... We are perfectly fine.... just missed out in the company picnic yesterday.  We were supposed to go to Six Flags for the picnic like last year.  Now we just get the two passes to go on our own with a free meal there.  I have a season's pass so we will go when James comes down at Christmas.  They have a togoggan hill there for christmas... they bring in snow somehow so I just have to see how they do that.
Take care everyone - stay warm up there.  It is actually cooler here now since patricia went through so we are wearing sweats and can open the windows for fresh air.
