I sent the local station an email letting them know how fast my power was back on...and ask them why aren't they reporting that...

We lost ours at 7 p.m., and regained it 5 minutes ago. Very impressive.

I was shocked...after what the news guys were telling us of course that was on my portable radio; we'd be without power for at least 2 weeks.

I had bought a fan run by batteries which helped a whole lot. My sister in law called me from Ft. Worth...she had evacuated there. When I answered the phone...she said oh you have electricity...I said NO...I bought a phone that does not need electricity.

I too was quite impressed when my power came back on. I had just been trying to figure out where I could go to a walmart and buy a battery operated hair dyer. LOL...
