So weather channel radar forecast got that way wrong, and it still shows storms going straight east in the future. Im guessing it keeps moving south.
Does that mean the storms it predicts we get this evening are less likely now or more likely?
This strong stuff now should "work over" the atmosphere so anything that comes in tonight in the same areas shouldn't ramp up as fast.

CenterPoint removed their map, but outages already up over 11,000...What's the over under on outages from this storm? 100k? maybe more?
146k currently out of power.
I almost said maybe the over/under should have been 200k...
CenterPoint learned that it doesn't have to be transparent, so they only publish a single number update every 15 minutes. Give it time.
235k with the latest update.

Dewsh move or not?

If it's golfball hail, nobody is driving worth a damn anyways.
I saw it and thought there was street flooding? They were just stopped?jetch17 said:holy piss, just saw that on ch13 ... fuggers jammed the entire interstate upDan Scott said:

Waiting it out under the gas station roof may have been the smartest thing I've done in several years considering the truck wouldn't fit in my garage if I tried. Saw three trees down on the drive home and bucket trucks swarming around. It's good to be home with a/c going.

I'm about to get it bad down in the LC. Radar has all the red stuff stacking up ready to stick it to me. At least I haven't paid for the new fence they put in last week yet.
Did you honk at them? Or, just sit there and take it?
I'm in Harmony. Got the call from CenterPoint saying power was out.texasaggie2015 said:
What part of Spring are you in? I'm in 77386. Curious if it looks like I'll have power when I get home
I wrongly thought that all the power piles on my property were my responsibility to keep clear so I have been working on that for some time but 811 guy came today and told me that wasn't the case so energy needs to come out and trim them all back. I assume today will be the storm that hands me my ass since it is the day I found out that I could have had everything cleared ages ago.
Power went out around 1:40. Finally got just enough internet to post. Tower signal strength is very poor in our little nook of OF.
Stuck at the office but wife says we lost at our house at 140, as well, OF by Frank Black Middle
Power out in Katy. Third time in the last few months. Anytime we get decent wind now it goes out.
What's a good source to know if you lost power at home if no one is there? Wife and kids are out of town and I'm downtown -- want to check on the house and the dogs.

Got an old school landline with an answering machine? Phone will usually still work but the answering machine won't ever pick up if no power.

I know with ATT you can check your internet status on their app. I bet most have something like that.
I've been checking my security system app.
Lots of marble-sized hail in Clear Lake

They were two cars in front of me. I honked, but either they couldn't hear me over the sound of the rain/wind/hail (wouldn't surprise me), they didn't know I was honking at them, or they just didn't care (also wouldn't surprise me).
You can link your electric service to your account on CenterPoint and log in to check it.HtownAg92 said:

Happy to not be impacted by this one. It went really dark and windy but no hail and only light rain.
Centerpoint better be co tracking out massive tree trimming projects.

Heights. Didn't lose power this time but pretty bad street flooding.
CP update says to expect power back around 5 p.m. I don't remember how I signed up, but I get calls from CenterPoint when the power is out and for updates.BBRex said:I'm in Harmony. Got the call from CenterPoint saying power was out.texasaggie2015 said:

Power tried to come back on three times in a row. Never quite got there, and each time ended with an electric arc somewhere in the distance.
we must be on the same grid in OF, wife just texted me the same.
ETA: I just got a surge protector last week to have my electrician install this week. eek!

Early talk now about how it's gonna recharge and come in hot again tonight. From central texas oriented North / South this time.
Yeah 11th street was way up over curb. Really appreciate the people hauling ass through it and pushing water up onto properties on the street. Idiots.
****. Seriously???
Stuck in the office as well. Gotta love it.
I wfh today but our office downtown didnt survive this time around. Several windows busted and revolving doors blown out.
