Conroe reporting in. Just got power back this evening about 30 min after I got back from a gas run for the generator.

What was irritating for most was that the other side of the street had power 2 days ago! Well, we did too, but some yo yo on our side probably had his generator wired into his house wrong and it backfed, blowing a transformer. Oh well.

Minor damage to house and property but several houses nearby sustained more moderate and severe damage.

I worked Ivan and Katrina recoveries and sat right thru Dennis so I’ve seen a what hurricanes and can. We are fortunate. I’ve not seen anything from Houston or south but I’ll bet that it is a different world there.

It is, near total destruction along the coast.
