A price was offered. A price was accepted. Sounds like capitalism is alive and well. God bless America.

So weird that an energy distribution provider should have their data together energy distribution outage ! That's such a tough concept !
Take it to nextdoor Karen
If I was that bad at my job I would be fired. That's what happens when you have a monopoly.
Bridgeland out by Pope elementary… wicked stuff. Lucky to avoid damage. That was the first time I've ever had a storm freak me out like that because of wind… and possibly how quick it got so dark. There was just something different about this one, and you could sense it.
Stolen from online but damn…
Got some bad news for those of you without power. 345KV is a backbone loop for a electrical transmission system. It is then stepped down to 138KV and then your distribution voltage that comes to your house or business. 345KV is usually a loop that can be fed from both directions so some may come back once the damage is isolated. For others, it may be a long time until you get power restored. Losing those 345KV spans and it falling on the distribution next to it is bad news. Hang in there because it is a big mess for them to repair.
You want to explain that to me like I'm dumb?

I'm by wells. Tornado definitely hit some homes over by mcgown
I have a coworker that has a really bad habit about starting out in the middle of the story when explaining a problem.

Update #2: the tree guys are done across the street and have been working outside my master bedroom for about 2 hours. The number of pinches and putas being screamed out is out of this world. Dog is losing its mind. Glad wife and kids went to MILs house.
If anyone has any roof damage please shoot me a PM
I just got power back in 70007
Spring valley, no power. Neighbors Tree on / in my kitchen.
I was downtown when it happened. The damage i saw in the ride from downtown to home was worse than Ike.

Our house in Spring Branch has no power. We are out of town so no telling what we will come home to. My trash can was at the street I'm sure it's gone.
Idiots
It literally stormed for 10 minutes, The Power has been out since freaking 7. This is ridiculous

Ok Karen.
Still no power here in Spring. My office is downtown and we were told not to come in this morning. What an insane storm.
Imagine thinking that power generation, transmission and distribution all happens within a 1/4 mile of you and if you didn't have bad storms then how can you not have power.

Clearly a democrat voter.
Still no power on the upper east side. One kid doesn't have school, other kid does
Hope y'all are ok in New York
The just said on ABC to expect the power to be out for a couple days in some locations

But what locations? Completely a mystery
Heard that the revolving doors at Enterprise Plaza downtown got blown out
Probably between that one road and the other street.
Joking aside those big transmission lines probably ly will take a little bit. Have to source new towers, build them, move wires etc. I'm no expert in it but they look pretty damaged

if you don't have power, prepare to be without for several days. If it does come back before then, congrats.Guitarsoup said:cryption said:

When the big storm hit last summer (June, I think) there was damage to the lines and a major station in my area in Spring. I think we were out for about 3 days, but I don't think the damage was as bad as the pics I've seen.
Drove to the Corridor this morning, roads (45N to 10) were clear but all of the TxDot digital signs were blacked out.
If you're inside the beltway and looking for gas, the Phillips station at Westheimer and 8 is working and has ethanol free for your generator or chainsaw
I'm in Bridgeland and the damn tornado came right over my house (it's fine). Neighbors weren't so lucky…
Office closed today. Still no power there but made it though yesterday ok in the woodlands. Just more rain for us
If it comes to pulling left lane campers and idiots that drive with hazards on because it's raining out in a militant fashion, I'm for it. Because they absolutely F up any ability to drive anywhere and are among the worst humans to walk this earth.Al Bula said:schmellba99 said:

I will tell anyone that needs help I have a truck & full tank on the NW side today if you need it
Might have been Q&A already, but can someone give me a recommendation for a roofer in the Cypress area? Damage is minimal, but I do need to get it repaired and would like a full inspection of the rest of my roof.
