Where will people fight over nothing now??

 

Creek behind the house is getting stupid high.  Starting to encroach the backyard, but hasn't broken the banks yet (into my yard at least). Though there may be a fence in the creek soon enough if this wind doesn't die down soon.

Lots of clouds in Austin. Better head to HEB before the shelves are cleaned out.

The slight breeze blew some items out of my trash bin onto the curb. I’ve called emergency services and will post a gofundme link soon to help with my recovery

We were at Lake Buchanan this weekend so we stopped at the HEB in Burnet to get some supplies in case we are without power for a day or two. The Woodlands is expected to do in the worst quadrant when the eye passes by.  It should be an interesting morning. 

Your place is in Tow...or maybe Shaw Island, right? The boy and I fished up there Saturday morning. Launched at Cedar Point and fished those coves down towards the LCRA cabins. The shallows are a minefield of floating and submerged debris, but it's good to see water in the lake. The Cedar Point ramp had been closed for almost a year. 

Think KHOU reporter was in my work parking garage.  Of course there were cars

This eye has pegged east and is going to go right over the damn loop. 

 Trying to upload video but apparently cell service is trash at the moment.

Yup, family in the Missouri City area seem to have lost cell service about an hour ago.

It had been flirting with it the last hour or so, but looks like we now actually lost power in 77008.

Ain't no skirting with this bitch.  She's taking dead aim at downtown.

Still on in 77008 but it’s in the on/off for 30 seconds/on/off for 30 seconds cycle

Lowered my thermostat 2° to make up for all the power outages. I got your back!

More power flickers in Spring Branch but still have lights on. My neighbor's fence has half gotten ripped outta the ground and is wiggling in the direction of my garage so hope that stays put. My wife noticed our master bathroom vent fan was dripping water, getting pushed in through the exterior vent

You have other relatives. You’ll be fine..

Same here.  Our office sent out a note yesterday saying they expected the office to be open on Tuesday.  Fuck that shit.

Same. My wife said same was happening in the woodlands. Maybe it’s a whole citywide cycle thing and not indicative of downed lines.

I mean, the only question on going to the office is whether or not there’s power. It’ll be sunny by this evening. 

Hobby a few mins ago had winds at 84 mph.

Fam a bit outside Pearland said it's hell. Have heard trees snap the last few hours and sees lots of debris out the windows (that haven't been broken yet thankfully!)

I've definitely heard the occasional distant pop, followed by a brief dimming of my lights, so I'd bet there's a bit of oscillating happening as available voltage on the grid spikes up and down that causes the step down stations to skip offline

Beryl you fat cunt.  I live a couple miles east of i35 in Austin and we won’t see a drop of rain

My office was surrounded by scaffolding for ongoing window repairs from the derecho, who knows where that shit is going to wind up.  No telling how many trees could be down between my house and the office.

It's a little more involved than just power availability.

11 transmission lines down, per Lina.  Shocker. 

But Centerpoint figured out how to route around them after the Derecho, apparently. 4k more personnel joining the 2500 here for recovery efforts.

Told my friends in San Antonio who have been bitching about no rain that they moved out to the near desert on their own, more than welcome to move back to Houston if they want rain…

God damnit, just make a fucking decision - on or off.

There will be documentaries about his heroism, much like the doctors who stayed at the NOLA hospitals after Katrina.

Wonder if [mention=355]GreenspointTexas[/mention] made it in to work?  That's what we're all concerned about during these trying times.

Yeah, the windows will be busted out.  Technically, it will be open.

Yeah I don't love feeling my house shake as I take a shit. It's blowing HARD in spring branch, I wonder how the roof damage will stack up to the derecho

IAH will attempt to open at 1600. I'm starting 20 days off today. Good luck, fuckers.

Had our first power flicker and heard a boom.  Generators running on the street behind me, but so far we're still up and running.

I don't have much confidence it's going to last much longer.  Still, I'm pretty happy with how long it has lasted.

Rain is almost blowing horizontal due west so maybe you might see some misting.
