Doing good now. Had one of my roof vents blow off, but I got that fixed already along w/ putting my neighbor's shingles back on his house. I powered the essentials at my house and my neighbors w/ my generator. Like BT said....I had to drive about 20 miles to find a gas station that worked. Other than that...all is good. Power was restored to my house last night. There's LOTs of tree damage around my location though. Dodged a big one.
Glad to hear everybody else has made it out safely though!!!! Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Scott, you need help cuttin/clearing those trees? I have a chain saw and found out a bit ago that I dont have to go to work til Friday on nights. They re-energized our neighborhood right about dark-thirty tonight so we are "almost nearly but not quite hardly" back to normal. BT, if the size of the crews is any indication on how long it will take to get y'all hooked up again, hopefully it wont be too long. Conroe's mayor called Harris County Judge Ed Emmett asking if he could borrow the Astrodome to house some of the 18,000 linemen/mechanics/support folks that Entergy had coming in to work in the area. I know y'all are out in Splendora, but there looks like there is lots of help streaming in. Friend of mine has a shop on 10-East and said looking out his office window today he saw convoy aftert convoy of lift and service trucks coming in from the East. It's good to have neighbors and friends when the bad stuff happens. |

I talked to a power crew yesterday and he said there is alot of line and pole damage and would not give me a estimated time of repair, but he did say since we are on the same grid as the main fuel source for my area that we would have power first in our area.
