Also I love this place. Trees down and kids in terror and massive chance at house destruction and no responses. 11 reps and counting on story of banging my wife at 3:00 am.

After countless 30 second off/2 min on for 45ish minutes, I think mine is out for good in 77008

Sex tent status update?  Or am I thinking of a different guy?  Godspeed to all of you in Houston.

East side checking in....power went out 3 times and immediately came back on, 4th time did it in it looks like.

I have lived where I am 7 years, moved in right before Harvey, and have never lost power during any event since that time until now.

Thats me. Was supposed to have another tent delivered tomorrow for a camping trip on Wednesday. Not sure if that’s going to happen or not but that is sex tent two- electric bugaloo.

Our generator keeps cycling on/off because the power goes out for a minute or two at a time. I’m at the point that I wish it would just go out so we can run on stable generator power.

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

We should have taunted her sooner? Man, if only!

Don't you have a switch for that?

I know it’s not allowed to wish death for a poster, but is it ok to hope that right now @GreenspointTexashas trees on his roof, no power, car half underwater, and no middle of the night sex?

It has an ATS so it switches automatically when the power goes out.

Compared to Ike, I find this a worse experience.  Ike hit Houston at night and I slept through most of it. This morning I feel each wind gust as branches/limbs are hitting the roof.

Yep. Feel like a sitting duck here in the woodlands watching and hearing shit fall on roof and yard.

I just thought you could flip a switch and isolate from the grid manually too.

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.

Exactly my situation. My generator is more reliable

It looks nasty on the radar.  Y'all stay safe.


For a different perspective, here's a shot looking east from the deserts of Boerne this morning.  The low clouds in the foreground were really swirling in from the northeast, which is unusual to see.

The weather radar shows the rain changes from red to yellow / green around 10:30.  I'm sitting here counting down seconds, but have a feeling that time will just get extended to about 2:00.

Man, between winter freezes, derechos, hurricanes and months of 100 degree temperatures, it's just too god damn stressful to live here any more.  There is never any relief from some kind of impending disaster.

At least the food is good.  But still, I moved away from Houston 23 years ago and have no plans to return.  I can love it from a distance and from higher ground.  

 

Stay safe.  My people in west Houston have been without power since about 4 a.m.  My sister had a generator on order, but was not scheduled for installation, at the earliest, until September (you know, around the start of hurricane season).

In central Houston, the wind has now shifted from the west. Should be in the final heavy gusts phase as the eye moves past us to the north.

Same here. My luck, I came to visit family with the wife and get to enjoy going through a hurricane again. Power is out but, thankfully, we have a generator.

There goes the power. Made it longer than I thought it would. Winds are definitely getting worse now.

No shit is it ever going to start weakening?

Same boat! And now that schedule will run out till next September! And cheaper to boot! Haha FML! At least we have a portable generator.

Well, I'm just hoping this thing weakens a bit.  I'm in Tyler.  It's looking like we're just going to be on the clean side of this one, but I'd rather it be a TD by the time it gets here.  I just got my yard cleaned up from the freakish, straighline winds that came through here  a month ago.

I’d wait 40 weeks on that celebration.

You know the two sentiments aren’t mutually exclusive, right? Us bitching about getting nothing also means we’re upset y’all are having to go through this. It would’ve been better for the state as a whole if it made landfall almost anywhere else on the coast between Houston and Brownsville. Don’t take our complaints as diminishing the shit y’all are yet again dealing with.
