My dad works for TXU and left yesterday with a few other crews to go fix your ****.

 

CC Bowtie ... we're so very appreciative. Thanks Dad!!

There's not been anything posted till when Alvin will be restored....we had 2 tornadoes rip throught the 'hood, and we were lucky no damage to land or property. Me and the dogs are playing nomad with a friend till Go-go gadget Eric is home sometime tomorrow morning. Flying to New Orleans and driving in. Just heard that IAH and HOU will both be open Monday with limited services.

Hope all is well with others.

made a new post with a link to pictures.
i have no idea of how long we will be with out power.
if i had to guess i would say between 16 and 21 days.

 

It does not look good for alot.
Katy did not get it to bad,spring was pretty rough though

 

I couldn't even wish this on my worst enemy.

 

well came home yesterday, no power,water,sewer, we do have luters (sp) hooked up generator for neighbor and myself, have freezer and fridge working, few lights, house is ok, few holes in roof, trees down, water up to the house, neighbor lost his shed, the other neighbor lost his house, 100mph winds with gust of 130 came right through here, I live in mont belvieu, just north of baytown, we stayed in a brick building in town and the north wall was just about sucked out, we grabed air matts and moved to the inner building, this will be my last post for awhile as dial up only gives me 4 hours for emergency use, this was killing me not to be on here ahhaaa, glad everyone is ok and Dan rebuild, tax right off hahaaa, laters everyone.

 

damn hurricane was mean.......... the 2nd round was more instense than the first which is very strange.... thats when most of the trees came down in my neighborhood. anyways, hope everyone is alright, supposebly there are tons of people dead in galveston but they are only reportin 9 at the moment. sucks. With 20k or more people that decided not to evacuate...... so yeah, wonder if they will say the truth later on ?

 

Be glad you weren't in Crystal Beach or on Bolivar at the time this thing hit...

Looks like a tsunami hit the place...
