Returning home
Posted by seanabrady on September 24, 2005
They have come up with a scheduled return for people coming home. Tomorrow people north of I-10 and west of I-45 can come home. Monday people south of I-10 and west of 35 can come home as well as people within the 610 loop. It goes on from there. I wonder how they will enforce it????
Hope the plan works, they need to get that word out and soon.

I live in Pearland and evacuated to San Antonio. I have a 6 month old baby and I’m very worried about getting stuck in traffic like my husband did on Thursday (took him 15 hours instead of 3 1/2). Have you found a place on the web that lays out the schedule for return?
I also have a 4 year old daughter Denali. Have they mentioned when the Pearland schools will open?
Thanks,
Jen

Hi there, just found your journal off the frontpage of WordPress.com. I’m from Pearland too, Silver Lake, back by the new movie theater. We headed up to New Bransfels for the weekend. I’m glad there wasn’t much damage to the area when we got back. We dodged a big bullet this weekend.

Yea, If you drive further into town on Broadway you can see some other wind damage (carport cover of a gas station blown off for example), but really nothing to bad. Just need to get some groceries back in the stores now.

Greetings,
On a recent web search we found your blog postings that relate
to the recent hurricanes. We at the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank
(http://hurricanearchive.org) invite you to upload your postings or
stories to this public database as part of a nationwide memory bank
that will help historians write the history of these storms. A
collaborative project between George Mason University’s Center for
History and New Media, the University of New Orleans, and the
Smithsonian Institution the Hurricane Digital Memory Bank is
collecting, preserving, and presenting the stories, images, and
responses of the devastating 2005 hurricane season.
If you decide to contribute, your stories will be credited to you and you
will retain copyright over that data. When we display images, blog
postings, or podcasts, we also create a bibliographic citation as a
reference for those using the memory bank for research. If at any time
you change your mind, you may contact us (info@hurricanearchive.org)
and we will delete your materials.
Still wondering who we are and what we do? This project builds on prior
work by George Mason University’s Center for History and New Media, and
other partners such as the Smithsonian Institution and the Library of
Congress, to collect and preserve history online, especially through
the ECHO (http://echo.gmu.edu) project and the September 11 Digital
Archive (http://911da.org). Check out these sites and see what you
think.
We are collecting all types of information, and we encourage you and
your friends and family to submit stories, documents, images, or audio
files through our website: http://hurricanearchive.org.
Thank you!
