Welch Island Update:

Today my brother & sister-in-law went to Welch to check for storm damage since all our security cameras have been down. They walked the perimeter of the island and didn't see any significant damage to any houses. The power on Welch has been restored but phone/internet service has not. There's lots of trees down on top of cables on the south side where the power lines come from the mainland and then split into the 2 power lines. The power company managed to restring the cables (thanks guys) to get them off the ground but the phone cables are still on the ground. I'll try to post some pictures as I get them.
