You "should" have power and water back on at your place by now. they're all the way out to 13 mile road with both, though there is still a boil water order until further notice. If you have gas, that will be another issue to deal with. The city of Galveston website has the daily updates on all services:
The Island looks like it's having a city-wide garage sale at the moment. Everyone has everyone thing dragged out into their yards trying to dry and salvage what they can with others having mounds of debris as high as their homes waiting for removal. It hurts to see so many who really have lost everything but there are also lots of folks stepping up to help.
