[QUOTE="change, post: 195283, member: 4808"] Hi everyone. Haven't been on here in a long time. Sorry! It's been hectic with back-to school (I'm a teacher), we just had court last Weds.(case with son), and daughter started a new school. Anyway, I'm in Houston. We got power back 1:30am Monday. Thank God. We were able to stop boiling water this morning. No one else in my immediate family has power. We've been helping each other. At least my brothers have generators. We are very low on food. Most stores are still closed and gas is very low anyway so we're not venturing out if we don't have to. The scariest thing is the risk of looters at night. I live near downtown in a very nice neighborhood but it's historic so there are still some seedy areas and my street is one of those with a some nice homes in a row and then some questionable homes right next door or down the street. We're lucky though compared to a lot of people because our home is fine and we have power. So many people don't (69% in the city) and many people are desperate for food and gas (for their generators). We didn't have a generator so we are so happy to have been one of the lucky few to get power back fast. If they can just get power to the food stores and start bringing in food and gas, things will improve at least 100%. [/QUOTE]
