Basically northside of The Woodlands, a rental:
no problem - see my edit.
Have fun fixing this.
It is nice living close to a hospital, nursing home, PD, and FD station. Never been w/o power for longer than two hours.mm98 said:

****ing hell, this sucks balls.
You need any help?
Neighbor across the street with a chainsaw helped clear some, and I drug a couple of tons of wood out front, then we drank with other neighbors.
All good...as it can be.
Thanks.

While this would normally be below criteria, the widespread loss of power and A/C will make for dangerous conditions.

No, that suck giant, hairy, moose, blueballs.
11th and Ella??
Centerpoint just showed up for the tree leaning on power lines. Any good guesses on how long this would take to fix and restore power?
The Kroger strip center with the Whataburger, Sonic, and Raising Canes at Falcon Landing and Gaston has had power almost the entire time and that is less than a mile from me.mm98 said:

There was that one incident a few years back where some lady goes around a barrier and drove her Tahoe into a flooded underpass near Allen parkway. You see the light from her phone as she was furiously texting until the completely Tahoe sinks and her phone finally shorts out.
I think that was on the Westpark.
Power still out in Sienna although we are on generator. Internet was working all throughout the storm this morning when we were getting hammered by the eastern eye wall then xfinity went out at 445pm during the calmest part of the day and hasn't been back since. Cell networks completely fooked.
She's in Solea Cinco Ranch Senior Living.
I really feel for you guys who are out. Just a word of advice from a former utility guy. Just because you see them repairing or clearing something close to you does not mean that your power will be restored quickly. There could be damage 2-3 miles away from you that is keeping the distribution circuit down. Conversely, just because you do not see them working close to you does not necessarily mean that your power will not be back soon!
They have to keep these lines down for safety, especially when they start bringing in crews that are from out of town, etc. Was talking to CPS in San Antonio today and they have crews on the way up there as of this morning.
A bright spot for some of you that suffered through the "derecho" outage. They probably cleared a lot of trees that would be causing you problems now and replaced a lot of poles, etc, that were better able to survive this storm.
Good luck, and we will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

Are phone calls essentially non existent right now? Tenant said they can't make any phone calls at all since this am and that includes phone service at the USCG air station where one of them works. Hard to coordinate SAR when people can't even call in to the air station.
We are in cross creek ranch and other than a blip around 4:30am… we stayed on the entire storm. Many parts of the neighborhood and of course surrounding areas are still out. My only guess is that we ended up part of the grid connected to the newish sherrifs dept. out here and they gave it a bit more redundancy.
Was kind of hoping but not expecting that the neighborhood dive would be open. But it's dark on that side of the zip code too.
Is that El Dorado? I was surprised they left so many trees when they widened that road for this exact reason. Hope they can get it patched up quickly.

I couldn't get in touch with most of my employees today because of bad cell reception.
Sure seems like a lot of power and cell failure for a Cat 1 storm. I wonder why? Lack of maintenance or tree trimming? Maybe drought weakened trees?

No, Tomball, Hufsmith-Kohrville Rd.
I'm 77077 around Dairy Ashford and Briarforest, so not too far from there. No power at last check about an hour ago. Left to stay at my parents' in Cstat for the night.

It does seem weird. Went to Costco on 290 for gas for the generator and I really didn't see that much damage. Not sure what's going on in 77429.
Anyway, drove right up to the pump and got gas. No issues
I need to stay pretty close for work reasons but thinking of heading down I-10W or 290 with my pup and seeing which hotels have availability & allow pets

In sugar land, I had great cell service through the eye. Once the eye passed, it went away. Only way I can make a call is to hook the WiFi router up to a portable charger I have and hop on WiFi
No power and no cell service at all in 77450. 99 and Westpark. Been that way since 11
mm98 said:
In Falcon Point (Katy). 77494
No power and no internet. With all the cell towers jammed up I can't get any info until I stopped by my mom's place. She's 5 minutes away and never lost powe
Hey neighbor, hope we get power back soon!
How was it getting to CStat? I'm needing to head that way in the morning...Chase McGuire said:

Thank God this was a small Cat 1. 3+ would have absolutely wrecked this city/area.

Only WiFi calling working for us in Richmond
Power and internet back in my area of Pearland
Formerly tv1113
Anyone else using Fidium for internet? Power has been back on here in Katy for a while, but the internet is still down. Kids had to watch a movie on BluRay earlier. Blew their minds lol.
Been a rough few years for CenterPoint as far as public perception. Starting with the freeze.

Everyone I've talked to with Consolidated and Fidium are without internet. They're the same company. I don't know what's going on.
In Fairfield Inwood Park, lights flicked on then off twice and I heard a big hum from outside. Now the alarm power is on, but nothing else. Rest of the street is still out except for dude across the street with a generator. Ooo, look at me with power and outdoor house lights.
