Hurricane Ike – lost electricity

Posted by Dave | Filed under Personal, Science

UPDATE – Saturday, Sept 12th - We’re all fine here, just without power and water.  It’s like camping, except not nearly as much fun.

I’m updating the blog with my phone because we’ve lost power here in the 77007 area of Houston.

The wind and rain seems to be coming pretty steadily, howling outside. The tall palm trees across the street are bending like flowers. Surprised they are still standing.

Hope everyone in Houston fairs well.

-Dave

PS- wish I could show you photos, but it’s too dark for my phone’s camera.

    Hope you and your family are ok and that the services will return soon… Until then hope you have some marshmallows to roast on the campfire- LOL

    Thanks Paul. We just used the last of our eggs to make a giant 7-egg omelet. Yum.

    Dave,

    I live in 77007 at Washington and Studemont. Any thoughts as to when power will be back on? Are the roads accessible in that area? I saw the Bayou almost topped the barriers through the KHOU webcam off of Allen PKWY. If you know anything, I would love to hear it.

    Thanks,

    Ben

    Hi Ben. I live in that same ‘hood. I wish I had more information for you. We have a database where we are collecting that information at Chron.com.

    Hang in there. Lots of folks are in the same boat. I had my first shower in several days last night at work.

    I am glad you are OK and hope that Houston and the other areas hit can recover quickly!

    Hi Dave!

    So sorry you still are living without power and water. I have both but still no internet and cable so have no news of what’s going on. I’m at Monica’s at the moment to catch up and just wanted to say hi to you and Dr. Ding! Hi! Hang in there pal!
