Might depend on where he lived, saw in another post that he might have been living on bayou in Dickinson?  If so he probably got flooded pretty good. 70% of his zip code will still be without power PAST this Thursday, city still has curfew in effect and Red Cross serving meals, limited availability of rations/petrol as of today, city's website sounds grim:

Read some other posts stating that all bayside docks/facilities and a lot of property at or near the bay waterfront/bayou were trashed/destroyed/flooded.

That's the problem in those older neighborhoods: all those big trees that we all adore come tumbling down.  Pines were scary looking during the storm even 60 miles inland.  They were bending to freakish extremes.

When I was living in Coconut Grove FL and Andrew went over, the boats were a problem. The wind can get up underneath them and sail 'em... There were 50-foot cabin cruisers a few miles inland just parked in the streets, yards, and on top of people's houses. The 12-foot panes of sheet glass popping out of office buildings and the satellite dishes flew like mofos too. The bayfront restaurant I was working in had three feet of seaweed in it, with some of the nastiest little buggy/fishy nightmare creatures imaginable crawling around in it - then they died.
