To any and all:

Any word on things in Sulphur Springs (east of Dallas)?

A friend moved there not two weeks ago and her phone isn’t working. I know the storm went right over there yesterday.

If that is any where near close to true, it will take a LONG time to get power back on for an extraordinary number of people and businesses -— and I won’t be surprised to hear figures in excess of 4 weeks, though I’m expecting them to say 2-4 weeks.

It took a little over three weeks to get everybody's power restored after Alicia, so, frustrating as it is, that sounds about right.

Ooops, I’m very tired and trying to keep up here is rough on an old woman. Think I’m going to prepare myself for a little nap.

Thanks to everyone for being here and providing a sounding board. Thanks to NautiNurse for her hard work with these threads. Thanks to God for sparing so many in this storm that could have easily taken so many more.

Wasnt that the best!?

I think it was a turning point of sorts. It was awesome.

It was when the GOP got its groove back. :)

Thanks. I agree with one of my admins, we are ready for this to be done and our lives back to normal, oh well, I’m sure it will happen eventually.

Be safe everyone, I need to go do research on what to do now.

Well local folks know local logistics best.
Thats all I’m saying. Fed Help is a welcome relief but sometimes they cock stuff up with bureaucracy.

Rika! Sounds like you've got power and you're OK (except for Psycho Dog.) Good to see you check in.

I'm off to sleep now.

'Night, all.

Find a local guy to fix the roof. The fence can wait.

Well, what I am saying is that insurance co’s will charge a hefty deductable. You maybe better served without them for less money and faster.

Best Wishes. I could be down there to help re roof this coming weekend. Shingles are cheap.

Let me know

I found out where your rain went, I think... and wasn't really looking:

They claim 16.3” of liquid sunshine at Nederland, TX - about 20 miles east of you, I'm guessing.

That is not a typo: SIXTEEN plus inches yesterday!

Central Gardens - AirLiquide, Nederland, TX I don't know what locations closer to you are reporting ... I didn't really look, and wouldn't know the area well enough to find it if I were looking.
