I think the power finally gave in here (Katy). Been going on/off every minute or so for the past hour or two, but it's been off for a few minutes now and I don't think it's coming back.

winds are picking up here in East Texas and we're supposed to get what's left of it around 4pm. Nothing as bad as everyone else.

Spoke to my family in Tomball this morning and she says there is no power in all of houston area

How is the area of Pearland looking off 288/518? My wife and I decided to head up north. Anyone know if that area lost power or flooded?

Thanks,
Jon

Anybody know what The Woodlands area is looking like right now? I have family there and the phone and cell lines are all down. I'm sure they are fine, just wondering how bad the area got it.

Looks like Ike is pulling a Rita on us. We've had a few sprinkles and a little breeze. As of yesterday they projected the path to come right over the top of us, but with its eastward bend, we got squat. Not even any rain to speak of here. That still hasn't stopped the Flying J Truck stop from selling gas at $4.75/gal! (while it's $3.65 at my local grocery store right now).

I'm going outside and working in my shop.
