How long does power need to be out before it's reasonable to go Purge on the people that obviously have whole house generators after dark?

Still no power in 77024. Generator going strong.
We were down for 5 days during derecho. I was hoping this time we would be spared a long outage.

Power and internet back up on the east end of Galveston.

Does anyone know what the status of IAH is?
The United 5:00pm SEA-IAH is on its way. Scheduled to land at 11ish. I know because I watched it take off while I sat in the corner and cried. The Alaska Air flight at around the same time was cancelled.

I wonder if Cromagnum is stuck at IAH again. Cro, do you copy?

Thankfully no flights. But, ****load of roof damage and fence damage to deal with now.
Yeah. My mom lost one of her fences in Galveston.
Just got up to CS to a hotel. Our house in Klein area 77068 made it through but so many houses in our neighborhood had trees through roofs. Power lines down all over. So we tapped out and got to AC and a running city. T&P for all who are raw dogging no AC the next few days.

No power in Bolivar, but I've got enough 5G to stream Netflix. Meanwhile, in Kingwood you can barely make a phone call on a normal day.

Nothing on east spring either.. going to bed hot
All local channels are surprisingly not covering this. All normal programming.

I was just about to check 77386. My mom lives off Rayford and is trying to decide whether to stay with us in Austin a few more days or head back home. Sounds like she needs to extend her stay.
That's what I would recommend.

WTF? If these are experienced linemen, what training is needed?

Tons of trees down back in Benders Landing. Saw a bunch of trees sitting on power lines.
My assumption is now that night has fallen we are unlikely to see a restoration until at least tomorrow.

This makes sense now. I thought it was odd I didn't see a single centerpoint truck out on the road today for a 10-15 mile radius. Our area didn't have much damage either.
How to hide from Deebo safety training
Parents house in Cypress: their neighbor's tree fell on my parents' garage, carport, and 5th wheel RV... the lean to got crushed; it pulled their power line down and the tree branches stabbed through the roof of the camper and caved in the ceilings inside a little...
My mom is crushed like she lost her best friend. They love camping and they've had this 5th wheel for 4 years. She researched it for like 9 months before buying it and planned to keep it another 10-15 years... they don't make it anymore and the layout was perfect for them and the grandkids... I know; 1st world problems...

Thank God this was a small Cat 1. 3+ would have absolutely wrecked this city/area.
That is why I don't think anyone should have a tree within 50' of house or power lines.

Willy F... do share which location cause I want to try it out
Sorry, it's spelled Paisano's…at Rock Prairie and 6 I believe. I know some pizza places aren't always extremely consistent…so a disclaimer that I've only had it once….but it was amazing.

Not this dumb crap again.
Good thing we have no choice since they are a regulated public utilitytjack16 said:
Been a rough few years for CenterPoint as far as public perception. Starting with the freeze.

I know they have a hard, thankless job… but they're terrible at it.
We have customers bringing in crews from as far as New Jersey and Illinois.
Power & net back in Cypress

Our customer crews from New Jersey left Saturday morning to Texas.
Power (and cell) still out in southern Montgomery County (Centerpoint).
Any news for outages in Sugar land?

Just curious, what part of Pearland?
I'm in east Pearland by Dixie Farm
When I was at my utility, we had to figure out a merit/seniority system to determine which crews could travel to outages, There were literal fist fights over who was going to go. They love to suck up that FEMA money on overtime.Premium said:

They were on the clock from the time their truck left the service territory.
