Update Sunday AM - Post Rita

Some areas of La Porte and Deer Park remain without power. Areas along major streets were restored first.

A CiCi's pizza buffet on Spencer, an icehouse bar along Red Bluff and a donut shop on Pasadena Blvd. were first retail establishment to open yesterday. Some convenience store/gas stations have reopened their stores but have no gas. An unmarked white gas tanker was seen in La Porte on Spencer Hwy. yesterday but it was unclear where it was headed.

An extended post will be done as soon as we have power and cable back in our house in La Porte. This is being posted from my Dad's house on the Pasadena/Deer Park border off of Pasadena Blvd.
