Been watching all the transformers blow in the city from top of the highrise....been lucky weve only had power flicker a couple times...
winds are starting to get pretty heavy in Montgomery, big limb just smacked a guys roof across the street, amazing that we still have power.. a few flickers but nothing major yet. Praying for the best!
We just lost power for around 5 minutes in Pasadena. Lights and AC came back on but no AT&t Uverse or internet. Using the laptop with Wi-Fi now. Wind has REALLY picked up with transformers blowing everywhere. Intense to say the least.
my cable tv lost connection but i still have my cable internet connection. very weird. its usually the other way around.
I just heard a transformer blow I think, then the electricity went out for a minute, then came back on.
It looks like it has wobbled a bit east and the storm surge will miss Galveston bay...anyone else seeing that? DD
Anyone watching the Weather Channel? This idiot is outside and getting pummeled by the wind. I know the whole "the show must go on" thing, but damn man, get the hell inside before a branch is lodged in your skull.
On TV it looks like it is going to hit Galveston Bay directly with the eye which would push the dirty part of the storm to the east... DD
Are cell phone towers down as well in the city? I've been trying to reach my folks in West Houston for the past hour, and the cell phone lines just go straight to voicemail. I called the house phone and it just keeps ringing and ringing. Their cell phones are T-Mobile. Has the T-Mobile systems gone down?
just lost juice, running on battery backup on this computer and the tv. and just as I type this, it just came back. Wooo
