Sugar Land, Texas here. never lost water or gas, power out 18 hours, restored last night around 7. our internet down but neighbor let me use his wireless. in old part of town limbs down, in newer part trees down. everyone out cleaning up, one guy on our block without power, limb through roof. 4 guys up there removing tree and patching roof. one neighbor cooking for them, another brought over a generator, mom washing their clothes.

Thanks for your local update. Good to know you are safe, and local stores are open.

Thank you for checking in and glad you are safe. I loved reading that above (although sorry about the limb hitting your neighbor's roof)...that's our Texas spirit and it's heartwarming to see it is thriving.
