It's up most everywhere. It was out for a few days.
Downtown and the Med Center both have buried power lines - something that is basically impossible outside of areas with poured concrete going 100...
On point 1, this is not the only place with issues. In the north, lines freeze. Near the coast, wind blows limbs onto lines and transformers....
Honestly, though, what do you expect. We are about 3 days out from the hurricane and about half the city is without power. Considering the...
You know, considering the scope of the disaster, the response by volunteers, power companies and even the government has been impressive. Within...

Someone on channel 2 just emailed to ask if they should sleep in the bathtub in their hotel... ...in Conroe.
Most people barely understand the scale already. I can't imagine them making any changes to a system that has been in place for many, MANY years...
Power out above 16th now from what I just heard, but we're still ok here. Not sure how long it will last, but got the back up battery supplies...
Right now, I'm right near Rutland and 12th.
One tiny flicker so far in the Heights - 77008. Otherwise, all good in the hood thus far.
Power is all good in the Heights at the moment. Even have some friends live streaming their party. :)
