Safe and sound somewhere in Texas

We have settled into our third RV park, trying to get closer to Galveston. We are in Brenham at the moment with plans to move to League City as soon as possible. League City will probably be our home for awhile, close to Richie's school and Dickie's work. Galveston is in bad bad shape, they will not have power restored for a least 4 weeks. Tony did get to go to our house and we do have a house, and we are very grateful. We did get about 3 to 4 feet of water, which means we have lost half of our possessions. It really has not registered for me, not until I see it. I just can't imagine what my house must look like after the storm surge! My mom's house is also flooded, only she has lost 100 percent of her possessions. My brother, who works for a power company managed to get inside and he was overwhelmed by the destruction.
I have friends whose houses burned to the ground or where totally washed away. Possessions are nice and some essential, but all my family is safe and sound and both Dickie and I will still have jobs.
Please put us in your prayers.....we need patience, strength, wisdom and a little luck.
I will send pictures as soon as I can,
Love,
Alice
