Three of her neighbours' houses lie in ruins. Sheet metal has been twisted out of shape and insulation foam hangs from the trees. Books and clothes are soaking in the rain. One powder blue trailer home has caved in completely, its wooden skeleton broken and exposed. </p><p>As we examine the damage a young man arrives, agitated. He asks us if we have checked inside for the owner. We have not.</p><p>"Dan, are you in here?" he shouts.</p><p>We climb into the wreckage to help search for Dan, gingerly stepping over the missing man's possessions and clambering around his bathtub. There is no-one here.</p><h2 class="story-body__crosshead">'It was ferocious'</h2><p>Judie, meanwhile, is worried about two other neighbours. Both got out before the storm struck and have not yet returned to learn that their homes are destroyed.</p><p>She is particularly concerned about the elderly woman who lives two trailers along.</p><p>"She has no money and that was her home and it was already crap so..." Judie tails off as if she can think of no useful way to complete the thought, no hope to offer.</p><p>Meanwhile, down on the shore of Rockport, Robert Zbranek, 56, is trying to secure his boat to the dock after it broke free during the storm.</p><figure class="media-landscape no-caption full-width">

At the height of the most powerful storm in Texas since 1961, with winds blowing at 130mph (215km/h), he had to get out and scramble into his car, which he had parked behind a truck for shelter.</p><p>Even then he did not feel safe as, he says, the vehicle was lifted off the ground by the high winds but it worked.</p><p>What was it like? "Rough," he laughs.</p><p>I suggest that some people might question his sanity. </p><figure class="media-with-caption">
