That's exactly what happened to some friends/neighbors of ours.

I'm getting a fuel caddy for next time. Can use it partially full for regular mowing/back up tank when truck is low. Fill it up for generator use in times like these.

I thought a lot of the areas just West of Rosslyn were getting worked on, or had just gotten power already..

This is one pool I'm happy to lose. I got home from work and found the power to be on. Very thankful.

Just saw on the news they're saying that if the equipment on your house is damaged, you are responsible for getting a licensed electrician to repair before power can be restored to the house. Might explain why some houses are still out while their neighbors are on.


Yeah, I thought about this. But, I got no power to the meter, and many of my neighbors still without power. It just so happens that the line of when houses do get power is just a few doors down. Anyone east of that line is dark.

Nob Hill Sec. 2 (Spring Branch West-ish) still without power, though trucks have been rolling today, trees being cleared off neighbors lines, and seen some new power polls set.

We're back! Came home at 5ish and was still off. Drove to MILs for dinner and noticed light at Louetta was on and thought, could it be? Checked my phone to see if my thermostat was online. Bout started crying.

New outage map lets you put in your address and get an estimate. Mine says tomorrow, but we'll see.

If you get one of those (I have similar one) you might also want to pick up a cheap transfer pump. There is no other way to get the last half gallon out of it, due to its awkward shape.

Mine says my house should be fixed 5/20. It's 5/21.

I'll eat crow if I get juice by morning, but, it ain't likely to happen.

You ain't got to go home but you got to get $@&! out of here.

Mine won't be restored until tomorrow at the earliest. We aren't even on the map. Love living in a small neighborhood, but miss the days of living on a hospital grid. Oh well, that's why the interlock switch and generator comes in handy!

77043. Nothing, nada.

At least my neighbors across the street that have had power since Friday night have to listen to my loud ass generator.

Nob Hill (77043) back on at 1839 this evening, almost 5 days to the minute of power loss. Unfortunately neighbors on the other side of street are still down but should be back tomorrow.
