Beryl Barreling Our Way?

[ZX9RCAM]

Got an email from centerpoint, about 90 minutes ago, telling me the problem has been resolved.

No, it hasn't.

In SHECO's 10 county service area:

0945 - 18,465 w/o power
1005 - 23,140
1045 - 41,911
1200 - 53,791

And we're one of them. Our good luck we're on the same spur/line as the nearby county shop and they get turned on pretty quick. Also, this was the first time we were able to test the Generlink hookup (not Generac) and figure out which circuits we'd want to power. Been a good morning; squalls are fun!

The power has flickered many times in the past few hours but is off now, I suspect for quite a while.

Poor line crews will be working around the clock for some days.

It's likely crews and equipment from neighboring states are already on the way to SE Texas.

You people out west know wind but have you ever seen wind, rain, and trees at once?

Conditions have deteriorated significantly while uploading, Lord willing I'll be back later.

Lost power at 4:50 this morning, wind and rain still going strong

Power came back on again ~6:45. Flickered a few times but thought we would be okay. Right around 9am we started hearing electric buzzes going off in different directions, then lost power a few minutes later. Been without ever since. Did lose the back fence though. It dated back to at least 2002 and it was already starting to fall down before the winds came

too bad the tards didn't stay home

Ugh. FOX is reporting two fatalities in Houston area, both elderly who had trees fall on them in their homes.
Keep moving, Beryl.

Truly sad. Why couldn't it have been a couple of dumbasses, driving around in a hurricane, and getting stuck at a low water crossing. Let the darn trees fall on them. Harsh? Maybe, but as I've gotten older, I'm losing more and more of my patience (not that I had much to begin with) with retards. That said, if that number were to remain at 2, that's pretty good. By what members here are saying, everyone is getting through with minimal damage (although @Rafe hasn't been here in a while, hope all is well).

Glad most folks are okay.

No rain here.

No power at my house in Pasadena since 6:15am, no damage or water intrusion either so that's always a relief.

Add me to the list, power out in Katy

Power back on about 30 minutes ago. Now I need my Internet back on.

 

[glenbo]

Power has been out since about 4 am, still high winds and occasional sprinkles. Lots of broken trees and branches. I hope to get the generator going soon.

 

[MountainGirl]

Power still out here. After getting the main system tweaked we set up the new small backup inverter generator that only runs the bdr window A/C that hubs needs now for medical reasons. Hopefully it won't have to run all night but can if need be.

Praying everyone made it through this okay...with just cleanup and small fixes ahead.

 

[DoubleDuty]

Prayers for all you fellow Texans.

Hope you get power sooner than we're supposed to.

It's looking like a few days, or more.

Who's your provider?

Who's your provider?

Centerpoint.

During the storm there were 2.4 million without power.
Currently 1.6 without power.
