The beauty before the beast...

Hello to everyone! Power has finally been restored for the Carlino's and we are surely the fortunate ones. We have minor damage at our home and at the studio but no flooding and the AC is on. My heart breaks for those in Galveston and Surfside and downtown Houston areas. What a horrible thing to happen to a city of millions. Gas and groceries are extremely limited. Signs & fences are down, trees are everywhere. We had 80 mph winds here Friday night but the most beautiful sunset happened before the storm rolled in. I took these on my street facing west. The third one has our house on the bottom right side which faces the Gulf so things were very dark that way already. The last two photos capture what you can do with kids when there is no power...make s'mores over a fuel can!
