10 days without electric power. I finally gave up on the second Saturday without power when it got 88.
I'm at my oldest son's house who had his power restored on Sat.
My son's house now has cable TV and later this afternoon he has internet access.
Houston is a mess. Galveston is an almost hopeless disaster some beyond repair. Homeowners in some parts of Galveston will be allowed back in this Wed.
Curfew times vary by locations but even in Houston the strictly enforced curfew is midnight until 5 AM tonight. All vehicles at midnight as well as all people on the street stopped and many put in jail.
My power previously promised for Monday afternoon is now Tuesday afternoon.
Full power for Houston is estimated as Oct 2, 2008
Some service stations have power and gasoline is available at those stations. Delivery to gas stations to refill tanks is almost complete and when power is restored they can pump.
Clean Up will take a long time and cut tree limbs are on the front of most lots close to the curb. My last garbage collection was the Tuesday before the Hurricane.
Massive Large Electric Power Co equipment trucks and crews are here from 20 states and a tent city has been established at the Horse racing track. The work day is 16 hours for the Electric crews of many thousands of people.
It will take months to restore buildings downtown.
The reason that electric power is not installed outside of the downtown area is that it cost 10 times more. However we will pay a higher electric bill to pay for cost of repair beginning with the next billing cycle.
The financial condition of the top financial Institutions are in a disaster mode and even the US Government is not to big to fail.
No one is going to jail for their failure/fraud and the taxpayers have to foot the bills. My opinion is that the top brass of these institutions should be held responsible which they are not. The Democrats and Republicans in Congress seem equally to blame and should all be replaced.
GUESS WHO WAS #2?
FYI/OFE
The 3 senators who received more money from Freddie/Fannie were all Democrats. And guess who was #2? Barack Hussein Obama!
What a hypocrite!
