Still sitting in the dark. The emergency generators are working, but our call rooms are still in the dark. We have requested some lanterns for our room, so we have to go pick them up from the Command Center later today.
This picture is of a group of us eating breakfast in the TDC cafeteria. They are starting to get creative with the meals--stale biscuits + lunch meat + cheese slices=biscuit breakfast sandwich! Add some cold gravy, and there ya go.
Supposedly we are going to get some port-a-pottys, portable showers, and a portable kitchen today. They are saying that we're going to be in emergency mode through this week, although they say that we are going to get some relief in the next couple dys, but we're not anticipating any surgery replacements.
They have also established an employee health center, where people can go for basic things, blood pressure meds, coughs, colds, and also psychiatry.
They're letting us out today to check out our homes, so some of us are going to venture out to check out our places and also the seawall.
So far I don't think anything can be sent here. They are not letting anyone on the island, including the postal service. I will let everyone know when I know where to send things.
Off to check out the island--more pics to come.

I'd be grateful for any information regarding fish village, if you come across any...
I appreciate your blog; it's some of the only information I can find about what's happening in Galveston, and at UTMB.
Hi Casey-
I hope your apartment is okay. Keep posting, hang in there.
Thanks for your updates. We continue to worry and pray for your safety. As we watch the water in our backyard getting closer to the house in Bloomington, IL, we cannot imagine what you are going through. Hang in there. Soon you'll be saying "remember when..."
