From the main thread... but easier to find... can someone sticky these Ike threads? PLEASE DO NOT MERGE mobile device friendly map of Ike... http://www.khou.com/mobile/houmetroradar_lg.html and this one for those with laptops but no power for tv... http://www.maroonspoon.com/wx/ike.html edit -also, post-storm you can let your friends and loved ones know you are safe here: https://disastersafe.redcross.org/ and I listed a localized list of centerpoint energy phone numbers on down in the thread. Report any downed power lines you can visibly see.
EDIT: Houston water pumps are working again, according to a press release reported here in Dallas on WFAA.com at 10 PM 9/13/08. (I removed a non-essential post to allow this info to be near the top of the thread.) But the request is still officially "boil your water" before using for consumption. http://www.click2houston.com/news/17465678/detail.html
Good idea, especially with all the people running on laptops and phones because of the power outages. Below is a link to traffic maps and cameras, although the cameras are down right now. http://traffic.houstontranstar.org/mobile/
bumpity STAY SAFE! Do not approach downed power lines, they may be live! The power company wants you to report downed lines only... they know power is out. Centerpoint phone numbers (localized list): [rquoter] Brazosport Texas (409) 266-2236 Baytown Texas (281) 425-7301 Galveston Texas (409) 765-4000 Greenspoint Texas (713) 945-4820 Harrisburg Texas (713) 207-4559 Spring Branch Texas (713) 945-4504 Bellaire Texas (713) 945-4201 Katy Texas (281) 391-5104 Humble Texas (713) 945-8901 H.O.

Well I can't take credit for the first two link ideas in here... Can any moderate (with their power on) please sticky the Ike threads? I'm sure with the boredom of today the other threads will start to bump them around...

Best bet is to try and call from a local phone book and check place by place... I cannot find any database on this sort of thing aside from this thread----> http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?p=3898724#post3898724 Reports are that some Waffle Houses and Denny's or IHOP places are open, but it has been called into question how they can operate with current water restrictions. So be careful... If you have power, and can get your own supplies from a store that may be open, cooking at home may be best... but most cannot do that right now. Be sure and boil your water to kill off microbes, as the sewage lines may have contaminated drinking supply. And keep looking here to find help, or post more helpful data.
Centerpoint outage updates can be found here (including maps showing where power is still out) : http://www.centerpointenergy.com/newsroom/stormcenter/ike/0af9097a7e25c110VgnVCM1000005a1a0d0aRCRD/
Thanks mods, on the sticky... Just hapened to find this while looking up info for my dad. If anyone here lives in Lake Jackson, or has loved ones that do, you can go to this site: https://portal.blackboardconnectcty.com/welcome.aspx?eiid=1207B6088C3670A56D7F Register to have them call and/or text you when power is restored and the all clear is given. https://portal.blackboardconnectcty.com/welcome.aspx?eiid=1207B6088C3670A56D7F Pretty cool deal. Also, thanks DoD for the good info! FEMA statement, thanks to v3.0!
Go to your favorite search engine and look for a store locator for a list of locations near you. Then call the phone number and see if they are ready to serve you. Obtaining electricity will be key for those stores to be open. I don't think that Centerpoint and others are making firm promises to the retailers, so the retailers will have to take it on a location by location basis.
The chronicle has a list of stores that plan to be open.
