Any updates on El Campo/Glen Flora area? Having issues getting in touch with family in the area. Wondering if cell service is interrupted or if they just didn't charge their phones last night.

---

Cell service is down.

Yep. Been real frustrating watching everything pass this area up. Feels like just about everything that's come through the state the last 6 months has gone from almost I10 to the Red River and couldn't drop squat on anything south of Bulverde until it passed 35.

If I could push all this rain out of the Houston area believe me I would, it rains almost every other evening some weeks, we really don't need all this rain, especially not a dam hurricane. But it's early, no telling how many more storms we will get. Anyway, I've got an inclosed stairwell in a Kemah place on the bay. gonna have to cut about 1 1/2 foot or so of sheet rock out, entire yard and stairwell plus garage got flooded, still sitting there, it won't drain. Hoping low tide at 6 pm helps,it drain out. I may head down there with my fishing rod, maybe catch a few reds in the back yard ! Not gonna sweat this .. just get er done ! Only about 150 square feet of sheet rock along 4 small walls to cut out … like a cardio workout. I'll let Pedro come fix it once it's dried out

Tons of old growth pecans and oaks down near Glen Flora for those looking for firewood and furniture wood.

Massive trees.

Waskom and Hallsville got hit by two large tornadoes, not sure of the damage yet.

Just got off a work meeting. Austin Energy will be sending Mutual Aid crews to Houston & surrounding area to help restore power. Helping out our Centerpoint colleagues.

Lots of crews staging at the Walmarts parking lot yesterday in Calallen.

How does that work on insurance? They file against yours? Or use renters or car?

Drew a short straw. Tenants car. Waiting on BTU to clear a powerline before I can start cutting.

Curious how things work in this situation. Does tenant need to make a renters claim? Tree looks healthy.

My question too. Waiting to hear back from USAA to see what they say. Tenants only have liability on the car.

Healthy tree. Wasnt leaning or anything.

Sucks for the tenant but it's an Act of God and it's their responsibility unless they can show proof that they requested relief and it was refused. It'd go against their auto policy. If the don't have comprehensive coverage then it's full OOP.

Renters insurance covers the car if it's broken into but not damaged due to an Act of God etc.

Tenant auto insurance will cover the car. Ask me how I know. The tree? Out of luck there. Just firewood now

Can't move the car for repair without moving the tree. I'd get landlord and tenant to group remove

Ok so purely hypothetical here -

Would it change the equation if the tree had hit the house first and then fallen on the car? Would the act of it hitting the house first provide any coverage under the homeowners policy or would it still fall to the renters auto policy?

Luckily for CS78 this is purely hypothetical

Any word from Sargent or Matagorda?

If anyone knows of someone that gets in a pinch and needs help, im free today and tomorrow. Have boats, saws, winch, recovery gear, heavy duty trailer, etc. I try to stay off roofs. 979-tw0 zer0 f0ur- o635.

My parents and aunts all have houses on Caney Creek, heard from my aunt that it was almost to the bottom of their house (maybe 7-8') we haven't been to check it out yet but looked pretty terrible for anyone who chose to ride it out down there.


Lake Jackson got hit worse than I've seen since Rita/Ike crazy considering it was only a Cat 1. Nobody I've talked to in the area has power back yet. They are saying 3-5 days for my neighborhood thankfully I wired my house to back feed a generator so the 800# of venison/meat won't be at risk.

Home insurance for the house and auto for car. Two separate claims. Again ask me how I know

Which of the Way streets do you live on?
