Narrative:
Lost right engine after rotation, before gear retracted. Kept aircraft flying while retracting gear. Did not know at the time that hit a power line and trees. Aircraft in a near stall part of the time. Engine later started and everything seemed normal. Tower asked if I wanted to land or continue flight. I said I would continue. I did not know I had any damage to aircraft or that I had hit anything until I landed at home base in houston. Anytime an emergency is declared, a mandatory landing at the nearest available airport.
