Jude called yesterday (so good to hear his voice!) so thought I would pass on what I have learned. He is back at his home, trying to do clean-up, although services in Groves are not restored. In Beaumont, on the other hand, services are back, and Ed has been back home for a while, sounds like. But there is massive clean up, lots of storm damage. It sounds pretty overwhelming, with many people commuting between work and temporary quarters, or families staying in separate locations. But at least everyone managed to stay safe!
