FOR those who are worried about friends and family in Galveston/Houston areas (and LA too) who I'm sure lost power -
TODAY is the day after - it's POURING RAIN and this is the status on Electricity
so IF you are trying to reach anyone - (there is no cell service that I know of) and this is the amount of people with NO POWER
Outage and Restoration Updates Information as of Sept. 13, 2008, 7 p.m. CST
Total number of customers: 2.26 million
Total customers restored: 112,000
Total customers with power: 270,000 (12 percent of total customers)
Total customers without power: 1.99 million (88 percent of total customers)
I'm a speck in the 12% who HAVE power and don't know why - I'm just 15 minutes from downtown - Man I feel so guilty
Keep trying to reach those family and friends - I'm trying but so far... no one I know has power -
My heart goes out to all who lost homes. This is really a disaster here in Texas.
