Amy, I'm sorry this article upset you. But as I commented to you on your own blog, that wasn't my intention. The only thing that interested me about your house (aside from the fact that it's beautiful) is how oddly all the trees seemed to be angled towards your house -- just like I stated above. And I obviously had no way of knowing whose house that was (unless I was being completely nosy and decided to go looking up HCAD records). I hope that you'll read my explanation here and at your blog and see that it wasn't my intention to upset anyone with these photos. It was just a little documentation, post-storm, of a popular neighborhood.

Thank you for posting this information. I moved out of the Norhill District at the end of August as a job relocated me to Florida. I've been searching for information and pictures about how Ike had affected my beloved Houston Heights. I'm pleased to see the damage is minimal. However, the loss of so many trees is sad to see.

Thanks, Fayza! I've corrected it. I was in such a hurry to get this up, I'm surprised that's the only typo so far... :D

Onion Creek isn't on 11th St., m'dear. It's on White Oak! Nice post, though. I'm going to send it to my mama so that she can see that my neighborhood fared a-okay ;)
