AFTERMATH of Hurricane Yikes 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. |
Has anyone talked to ANYONE in Texas ?? I know we have a few that are ok - but we have a ton of people in Texas here and I'm worried |
I'm so glad you're ok, V - I worried about you and all the rest of those getting hit. Did you receive any damage? |
I'm glad you are okay, V! With so many people without power, it may be a day or two until we hear from many of our Texas members, so for now, I'll light a candle and hope they are well. |

Thoughts and prayers to all our Texas members! |
My friend lives in Houston on Secretariat Lane. I have no idea if she and her DH are ok or not. I am praying for everyone in Texas who has been affected by this storm. |
In indiana we are getting your wind now. We are having some hard wind gusts |

I have been thinking of all our Texas members lately. V don't feel guilty, you can't help that you still have power. I hope that as soon as they can everyone will check in and tell us they are ok. |
V thanks for the post. Is there any word yet on when electricity might start back? I know it can take so long. I'm keeping my eyes peeled for any news and my thoughts are with our Texas members. |
V, I'm so glad you and the girls are ok AND that you have power. I haven't been on much because things have been so busy but I was thinking about all the YT members who live in Texas during the last few days. I hope everyone is ok. I can't even imagine going through all of that. |
I'm here v, Has all been a nightmare. Have gone from town to town looking for a room. When the water started rising we had to just get in the car and go. at 6 this morning we ended up in Waco Gizmo has been ill from the heat. I got him and bubba bathed and cooled down and gave them perdialyt. My brother lost everything in Bridge City, My parents are from Orange and a big part of it is underwater too. No word about my home. Will try to check in later, this computer is in the lobby. I was able to pay for 3 nights. |
Vi , I'm so glad that you are OK , we are thinking of you. |
I heard on the news here that the electric company (a NYC station so I guess Con Edison) is sending a hundred utility trucks with workers down to Texas to help repair lines. They said that they expected it to take them 4 days to get there and that it would be weeks before they could get lines back up. Hopefully there are people closer that have the resources to come help. I can't even begin to imagine. Do you have enough water, food, etc. to get you through V? Hugs & prayers :justahug: |

I have been thinking and praying for everyone who has been dealing with this. Prayers and thoughts from Idaho! <keeping fingers crossed that eveyone here is ok> |

Bless your heart - at least you're all safe...and wow - all the way to Waco ? Have you talked to Judy ?? She's there - maybe you can give her a call ??? GOOD LUCK !! This whole area has NO power so it looks really bad and I have no idea when you'll be able to come home. I feel so bad for you.....Hugs and give the boys a kiss from me |
What about TXshopper, V? She's west of Houston isn't she?? Did her area get hit? |

The problem here is no power - no stores open - no gas and debris all over the roads. I hope those trucks get here fast because most of Houston has NO electricity - and poor Galveston is just devestated along with the massive flooding of other areas - I can't believe what a mother of a storm this was.....it's just horrible. |
Has anyone heard from Brooke? I hope everyone is ok...:confused: |

as a fellow Gustav survivor, I so feel for all of you... we are 2 weeks out and still have many areas with no power... hopefully we will get up soon and can send all of the wonderful out of state people who are here, over to ya'll... I am so sorry for those of you who had damage from this terrible storm... the good news is... most power was back up here sooner than planned, thanks to all of the great people who traveled here to help! I did see a caravan of tree trimmers headed out of town today, headed your way.... Good Luck to you all! d |

In Houston power is still out for most of the city - I found out my apartment complex & area DID lose all power except for my little courtyard area/building ...whoa - that really is humbling when the whole city has no water & power. KEEP checking in everyone please !! |
you are blessed V.... so happy for you and the girls! did anyone hear from Brooke? |
I'm like 30 minutes away from Galveston and luckily we got power back yesterday in the afternoon. The neighborhood across the street doesn't have any yet. My neighbors down the street who stayed put said that the eye of the storm passed right by our neighborhood and was pretty scary because there was silence for a little while! |
so glad to hear you are OK! d |
Keeping all of our Texas members in our Thoughts and Prayers:2hearts2: |

LOL!! The powers that be knew that you would be able to keep in touch with half of TX so there is no way that they were going to let you run out of power, V! :p I knew TX Kim was from Victoria, so after I posted my last message I looked at the map and it looked so close that I was worried. (I know... TX is huge compared to NJ!) Glad to hear she's okay and I bet she'll be checking in soon. Still praying for everyone. Keep your spirits up and please let us know if there is anything we can do... |
I feel sooo bad for all of you, must be just horrible ! Glad you are ok V ! Praying for the ones that havent checked in yet ! |
