Thanks for the info. Is the whole Bolivar grid hosed or just the feeder?

Bolivar is not on a traditional grid, but rather a single high tension line in from Beaumont that comes down through High Island. When that line came down, the whole peninsula went dark.

The peninsula is on septic tanks, so sewer will need to be inspected as well. Down towards Port Bolivar it appears not too bad, but there could be some problems up toward High Island.

I was wondering how Bolivar did. Here's a good Chronicle story about some High Island residents. At first I thought they were nuts for staying, considering they could have been trapped in a Cat 4, but I see that High Island is the highest coastal spot between Mobile AL and the Yucatan, 40 ft.

As a kid coming from Beaumont my family always contested who could be first to see the ocean as we drove through High Island.
