2019ish I was quoted $13K a mile east of you to upgrade and run the gas line, install the generator and do the electrical work.
I'm guessing $15K+ now.

But K Bo has power...CDUB98 said:K Bo said:
Just got the dreaded "CP is aware of a power issue at [insert address] ... Repairs to be complete by 3:45pm" but my power is still on. Never been more on edge than right now.
I'm only laughing because it keeps me from crying.
You and I are definitely on the same circuit. Sitting here without power as well. My wife got the same email.
Oddly enough, the Generator Supercenter people had just left. Can't get that thing installed fast enough.

Wife just told me it just went out at the house.
She just doesn't want you coming home early.

Probably something just coming in...
Just off the phone with CP and the agent says my specific outage is caused by a down line and is affecting 77 people in the area. Said to have power back by 7pm and that they are still seeing trees coming down on lines causing outages.
Entergy was supposed to be here today to trim or at least assess trees and fix a power pole that had broken its anchor and could crash in to my house and rescheduled for the 18th. Ugh.
We'll only have 3 more storms by then, so you should be fine.Sea Speed said:

Exactly. And I don't have my interlock installed yet.
Just put a post it on the main breaker reminding you to not turn it on before shutting off the generator breakerSea Speed said:The Wonderer said:We'll only have 3 more storms by then, so you should be fine.Sea Speed said:

And we're back
Pretty cool video I took from my flight yesterday morning. I dislike the 5:00am flight out of Houston but was glad to be in the air flying around the mess rather than stuck at IAH when it hit! I believe we were just south of San Antonio when I filmed this.

And hope that it is quieter than this thread has been recently.
Meanwhile, in Denver
It's almost June 1st, but it looks more like January 1st in parts of the Denver metro after a destructive storm dropped golfball-sized hail late Thursday night. pic.twitter.com/PMGdej3L4M

I would start it, but don't want my name associated with it if we get a big hit.

I dont mind shouldering that burden.
Mods. Please rename this thread to "Houston Weather Thread" to keep confusion down during actual Hurricanes.
So last night our power to half the house just randomly shut off. CP was out late last night into this morning assessing and eventually it was determined that an underground line between the transformer and our meter was down and it's our responsibility to fix.
Not sure what the cause was and wasn't convinced it was our problem but called Tine board approved electrician Brian Ziese.
He came out within 30 mins and checked it out and confirmed what CP told me and he's gonna work up a quote.
Dude is a good guy. Thanks for the rec. Texags comes through once again!

How do you lose power to half your house if the issue is between the meter and the transformer?
It's one leg of the power to the house so whatever is on that leg is down.
My thinking was if it's between the meter and the transformer that's not my problem but apparently CP policy is and has always been if it's underground it's the homeowner but if it's aerial then it's a CP problem.
I did happen to get them back out here to install a temp aboveground line to get us back to normal for a bit until I can get an electrician out to do the repairs.
