Although I have not too strayed far from home due to gas shortage, what I have seen so far as far as the smaller structures the new ones have held up as well or much better than the older ones as far as wind damage. There is a lot of windows out of high rise bldg. downtown, with stuff blown out of them. Galveston, 60 miles south of Houston suffered lots of storm surge damage, the water completely covered the island despite the seawall. They will require a long time to recover.Most of the damage I saw here in Houston was caused by falling trees, signs & flying debris. I rode it out at a Fire station (as a EOC communications worker) Saw lots of 12KV lines falting. Quite a fireworks show.In the area I am in (Kingwood)out of 15 sq miles I think less than 5% has power Robert
