A little over 24 hours here, but I know people both in Austin and Dallas that got hit with the initial 2:00 a.m. shut down yesterday and still haven't gotten power back.

30 hours at my house in Huntsville - from 1130 yesterday morning until 530 this evening.

The Boy Scout and weather geek in me was prepared, though. Fireplace, propane heater, camp stove, generator, and extra fuel for everything. The entire area was dark, but we had neighbors over to watch tv and play video games.

36+ Hours south of Waco. Lost water last night. Finally today was able to haul a couple hundred gallons from a friend to the cows. We said **** it and went to my office/plant in woodway that has never lost power or water and we are camping out until I here we have power.

The pipe breakage on some outside pipes will be major. The guy who built/remodeled our house in the country had way too many water spigots exposed 2 ft above the ground. I have insulated them but it didn't help.

We had rotating outages on Monday from 1am to 7am every 30 minutes. It never came back on after 7am and we still don't have power.

Was without power for 32 hours until around lunchtime today. Lost water shortly after that AND have a boil notice for whenever we do get water. Luckily filled a tub yesterday so we can flush toilets, and we have plenty of drinking water. In the meantime I am enjoying the most enjoyable of simple miracles that a man can experience... urinating outside in the snow.

Got the gas fireplace working yesterday but last night was still a cold one. Should be good tonight even if we do lose power, though.

We were supposed to start out pack and load for the move tomorrow, but f that noise. I called the boss and told her how it was gonna be (read: begged politely) and that has been pushed to next week.

48 hours down now. Had a burst pipe in the house. Phone Internet only works at night when ATT bandwidth is freed up. ****ing ridiculous.

Lost power Monday at 3a and got it back Wednesday at 10a. So 55 hours consecutive. Hooray for parents that live nearby that were okay to let me and my family shack up with them.

We have had power off and on some today, and it's been on now for nearly 6 hours straight.

Water is our big issue. No pressure, and under a boil order.

Managed to get to some friends today to take a shower, bathe the kids, and do one load of laundry RIGHT before their boil order started.

I'm guessing we'll be in this state until sometime Friday, but will have more and more sustained power availability with the temps not being nearly so bad.
