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.

Does anyone know what the status of IAH is?
Flightaware shows a few departures and arrivals right now.


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.

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.
94chem,
That, sir, was the greatest post in the history of TexAgs. I salute you. -- Dough

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Been a rough few years for CenterPoint as far as public perception. Starting with the freeze.
Good thing we have no choice since they are a regulated public utility

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.

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