Not going to be a big deal for you. You will be on the west end of the storm which is much better.

no, power isn't out yet - just trying to make sure what to expect. I just got off with centerpoint and they said for a cat 2 hurricane in this area, it would be as much as 2-3 weeks Why? Because they have to service the other folks first.

I cant remember how many people asked me this when we were cleaning up Gustov's mess, the only answer you can have is who knows. When you flip the switch and the light comes on, then you have power.

Now we gotta go clean up some Ike mess.

I just heard on XM 247 that the crews would be starting on the west end and working their way to the east end.
