The only damage to my sister's place is some wet carpet. The Crider siblings all lucked out with Harvey.

Louise Hay, R. I. P.
Louise Hay, Widely Read Self-Help Author, Dies at 90: Louise Hay, who from a 1984 best seller built a self-help publishing empire that has attracted millions of devotees with its messages about the power of thought and attitude, died on Wednesday at her home in San Diego. She was 90.
Update
My brother's place in Port Aransas. Roof leaked badly, but that appears to be the only real damage. He might need a new roof and a new ceiling, but that might be all. His flags were still there.
Shelley Berman, R. I. P.
The New York Times: Shelley Berman, whose brittle persona and anxiety-ridden observations helped redefine stand-up comedy in the late 1950s and early ’60s, died early Friday morning at his home in Bell Canyon, Calif. He was 92.

I saw Berman on the evening of JFK's election in 1960. When he came back on stage after the intermission, he announced that JFK was leading, and there was a big round of applause. Though the headline calls Berman a "stand-up" comic, he sat on a stool for his entire show.
