Still no power in 77008. Yesterday was manageable because it was 75 degrees outside. It's going to be 92 and humid today. Any house without power is going to be an oven by mid day.


I am a landlord and here is a tip that 50% fully understand and 50% completely do not.


Open your windows and you'll be fine.


Most people over 60 understand this and do fine when power is out. Most younger folks completely close off the house and wonder why it's hot as hell. Haha.

Unless several of your close neighbors have generators. I can't open my windows because of the noise/fumes from the generators.

This is not accurate in my experience. I'm near Loro and we still don't have power.

Repairs should be speeding up with line crews showing up from other areas.

Same here. No power yet at 11th / Herkimer, but hoping we're getting really close.

Drove past NRG an hour or so ago and there are hundreds of line crew trucks staging there. Saw several entering and exiting.

We're still out in Lakewood Glen in Cypress (Louetta & Grant area). Lots of neighborhoods around us going back so hopefully not too much longer. Even with windows open and fans it's getting less and less comfortable.

Still no signs of even trucks yet.

Transmission lines still down across bingle and west view

Look, I am no defender of Centerpoint, but they are answering the bell. Credit where credit is due

Edit to clarify...hats off to the lineman and contractors that answered the bell

A tiny portable AC and a little 3,000W generator can make a world of difference and they don't take up too much space. Nice to have around. Any chance you can snag that?. I've used this setup to keep a master bedroom in two houses at 72 degrees when it was over 100 outside in a pinch. To hell with the rest of the house, but sleeping chilled is the bee's knee's.

Need to do more with maintenance of tree lines. Wouldn't fix everything, but would allow better response. A lot easier to do 365 days a year than 2 but there isn't much of a budget.
