I have to rant somewhere.
In my area of Houston the electricity has been out since 9/12 and isn’t said to be back on until on or after 9/22.
I evaluated the state the night of 9/11 and returned 9/15 late a night. I returned to a city that was under curfew between 9pm-6am. Gas stations that either were guarded by security and police or had super long lines. Home owners suffered roof, water and yard damage. Some that ignored the message to evaluated even lost their lives. Schools are closed till next week. Supermarkets are just now starting to open. Some are taking advantage of Ike. Charging over $10 for 2lbs of ground beef. Most of the street lights still aren’t working in my area. I’m tired of waiting and eating fast food. Thankful I made the smart decision to leave the area before Ike hit.
I’m currently housing my folks who are taking refuge until
power is restored. Could be several days to several weeks.
LOTS of downed power lines.
