Just parts of it. Some areas of 77433 are still without power

Still no power in Katy by Westgreen and Mason

I don't anticipate it coming back anytime soon. We lost power for about 8 hours during the big thunderstorm in mid May

We left for a cruise on Saturday. Pretty sure we're without power in Hidden Arbor off Mueschke.

Heights 77008. Overall pretty lucky as the limbs seem to have protected the roof from taking the full force. The pup is pissed

This is 2 houses down from me. Huge pine fell on their bedroom while they were sleeping. 80 year old couple lives there. They some how came out without a scratch. Said they need the insurance adjuster to hurry up and come out . I don't thing they have plans of leaving.

Yep. Seems lots of Bridgeland didn't actually lose power. Lost mine at 8 but back before 2

Actually shocked because my parents in Katy in Nottingham off fry still don't have power. They generally get it back pretty quick since they're on the grid with the hospital.

Got it back after 3 hours in May. And consistently had it during the winter storm after it initially went out.

What might be a good small generator to buy to get some fans and a fridge running in the house?

No idea. Their two adult sons were there. I told them if they need some tarps or something to let me know.

House is one of the original ones built in Memorial City (77024). Probably has asbestos siding or something.

Probably aren't going to be able to find hardly anything, but a 2000 or 2200 inverter would be just fine running those.

Places to look to see if any in stock:
Lowes
Home Depot
Northern Tool
Harbor Freight
Ace Hardware

And if you're going to start looking, my advice is to drive to the west (Katy and further) to search since they didn't get it as bad.

Honda inverter is the gold standard. Probably wouldn't need more than 2000-3000 watt.

That being said, they are expensive.

Harbor Freight sells a 4550W inverter for $680. Would give you more than enough power, so you could even get a window unit or two if you want to expand a bit.

Latest fear porn talking point... Beryl could maybe continue to intensify to a weak Cat 1 AFTER landfall! It could be a hurricane maybe! Maybe y'all! Maybe!!!


The fear porn on this one has been insane, not to mention the fanboy stuff from supposed pro mets cheering this thing on like they've got a skirt and pompoms. I've got a meteorology degree too, and this thing never looked to me like something that was going to blow up and be a monster. Hopefully some on here have learned a thing or two from following this one.


Still think this was just fear porn?

We were fortunate with only some windows leaking. A neighbor's tree toppled and demolished another neighbor's fence.

Not really flooding here in First Ward even though I live right near White Oak Bayou.

No power since like 7 am though.

Yep, from the people saying this was going to be a cat 3, absolutely. It was always on track to be a cat 1 and do cat 1 damage, and that's exactly what it did. Power outages, tree damage, and flooding are all to be expected from a cat 1. What I'm talking about were the people out there talking about this storm having potential to come in as a "major," doing "catastrophic" damage, and the like. This storm didn't do any of that.

It was literally 1 millibar from a Cat 2.

There are plenty of examples in this thread, and they've been all over Twitter for days. I'm not going to aggregate them, but there were a ton of examples of pro mets saying this thing had "explosive" potential, how it was "worst case scenario," "potentially catastrophic," etc. If you haven't seen those, you probably weren't paying attention too closely. Either read up in this thread or go to the Storm2k forums and you'll see plenty.

My point is that it's irresponsible to put stuff like that out there when it is a low end outcome, and I think people should be more careful when doing that, especially when they're "pro mets."

Well, storms are categorized by wind, not pressure, and it's a far cry from the possible cat 3 you were selling the other night.
