Just got a text that the new estimate is Tuesday. Went from yesterday to today and now Tuesday. I am done listening to anything Centerpoint says.

There's not much worse than sitting on the tarmac. They barely have the A/C running to save a tiny bit of fuel, so you're hot, stuck in a tube, and likely pay $8 per drink.

LOL, reminds me, decades ago, me and some buddies were stuck on the tarmac, and while the flight attendant wasn't looking, he grabbed about 10 of those little liquor bottles.


People jealous of my battery powered fan.

That sucks. Our neighbor texted and said we have power back but I've not nothing on my hub coming back online. I'm guessing it's because I shut the generator down and turned the transfer switch off.

Does anyone know what to do with a whole home when you shut it off how it's supposed to be under load and the power comes back on?

Their map means **** all. The guys I talked to at my house this afternoon said they were "90% confident" it would be today. Went to a movie, then got an email and text that it would be Wednesday. Stopped at my house and it was on.

So, **** them and their toddler-designed map of many-yet-few colors.

ETA: 77096. Maplewood South - Hillcroft/Rutherglenn.

I know quite a few people that were given next Wednesday for their date that got their power back today, so there is really no telling. My neighborhood has Tuesday for our date, hopefully it will be sooner

Y'all really need to rethink that slogan of "The Livable Forest".


Centerpoint is the no talent ass clown, why should we change our name?




I concede…you are right. I just feel bad since it seems like every time a weather disaster happens, Kingwood takes it that much harder than the rest of us!

And I wasn't trying to be snarky. I feel like Kingwood does get (undeservedly) kicked in the teeth a lot


And now they are flooding because idiots have blocked the storm drians with their debris.

From neighbors who did this today - when you're prompted to push whatever for emergencies, press it and you'll get connected with an actual person.

The useless outage map hasn't been updated since noon. It still shows today for my address. What do you guys think? Will I get power in the next hour and 40 minutes? Surely Centerpoint has this all under control and isn't putting random information out.

I posted this earlier but just gonna try one more time. I know it's a longshot.

If anyone has a mother in law suite or something similar in Houston please let me know. Willing to pay.

Got an email from CP today saying my power is scheduled to return on July 15. I got power back on July 11.

Their entire communication system is so flawed.

Similar offer to above. I'm in Katy/Fulshear and have power. Wife and kid are out of town til the morning and I have my FIL coming in the morning. But if you're near, I have multiple bedrooms available for you. Text me at if you're coming, as I'm about 4 beers deep and probably won't check here again til tomorrow

Trees are still falling everywhere, people are gonna be really pissed when they get power back and lose it again.

Gut check question…

Neighbors tree(s) feel across our street with the tops landing in my yard.

Aside from creaming a bench I had out front, no other damage to my property other than clean up of debris once removed.

Who owns the cost of the tree cut up and removal?

Act of God.

You're responsible for your property they are responsible for their property.

Yep... whatever is on your property is your responsibility if it was an act of god / weather. You'd have to prove he intentionally knocked it onto your property or was negligent in its health and somehow his negligence resulted in the tree falling.

Same thing happened to my parents. The neighbors tree fell across the property line and smashed their garage lean to and totaled their 5th wheel...

My parents have to clear the tree from their side of the property. In fact they had a storm chaser tree company come try and get money from both party's insurance and said they'd need a crane to remove it. My mom and dad laughed them off the property.

I understand that in cases of property damage ones insurance would manage the cost. Had we incurred damage I'd absolutely agree.

In this case, with no damage, I'm still confused.

Were he to have his car back out and take out my mailbox, it'd be on him. But As an act of god I guess it's different.

HPD just stopped by my house to do a welfare check because there has been a power pole down beside our house since the storm. That's really cool. Well done HPD.

I'd probably just grab my chainsaw, clean up my yard, and pile the wood by the curb for the city to pick up.
