Under 90k now, they are making progress. Hopefully my power will be back on by the morning.

I still think CenterPoint needs to get their act together and figure out how to keep every storm from knocking the power out[/quote said:
As long as power lines are above ground, we're going to have this problem. It's impossible to stop.
And it is way too expensive to retrofit to underground. Underground is only financially feasible in new residential or commercial, who can afford it.

Might be something to that - but think the heat/humidity was really bad immediately after Katrina.

Katrina also made landfall 600 miles away.

Houston has shown it can handle the rain, areas will flood etc... Flood Control Dept is only 3 years into a 15 year plan so there's a long way to go.
There's only so much that can be done. Lena & Co fired Poppe (I mean he 'resigned for family reasons'), but in the end, Harvey type storms cannot be abated other than simply not living in the region period if you want to avoid being impacted.evestor1 said:AlaskanAg99 said:

Flood control department - may as well be called "Super Diverse group of medium paid employees with great benefits that do understand one thing about flood control"

I dont have the app, what does it do?
They also used to get that in their comments all the time as a mockery and started deleting the comment because it was so often.Sea Speed said:
Thsts fantastic. They must get absolutely bombarded with questions about that to put it in the app
Yes. Sometimes happens after crazy changes in weather or heavy rains, but this was a bit worse. On top of that, I just get slightly achy and lethargic during these types of low pressure tropical storm/hurricane events.Texaggie7nine said:
Anyone else's allergies go crazy after the storm? I've had a horrible sore throat and sinus issues since it came through. Even got Covid tested just to be sure it wasn't that.

Mine had been steadily getting worse over a couple of weeks. I figured it wasn't Covid since this happens to me annually to varying degrees, but I had just taken a trip for work that included 4 flights and 6 airport stops. And I never get a fever with it but was running hot for a few days last week. Finally Tuesday cough was unbearable and I knew that no one would be out and about because of the storm, so I went to get checked. Turns out, no Covid. Just pneumonia.gooberhead said:
I've been experiencing the same thing, started last week but got much worse yesterday. A little better today.
Knew it wasn't Covid cause haven't been anywhere to get exposed other than a camping trip over Labor Day weekend and we were outside whenever we were around others.
