My sister lives off of Hwy 6 and Bellaire in Ft. Bend Co. and she has been without power since 1:00 am or so. I talked to her around 3ish and the wind was blowing with quite a bit of rain coming down. Her hubby had put a rain suit on to go out and check on any damage. They have tree debris in their frontyard from a tree in the front yard.
She was going to try and go back to sleep. When she calls again I hope to get more info.
She has a landline with a regular phone plugged into it so she has phone service but the ringer on the phone doesn’t work when there’s no electricity. She calls me and I then call her back while she times how long it’s going to be before the phone should have rung.
Well, we lost power for about an hour but it just came back on, thank goodness, but I don’t know for how long.
I can’t believe that the power company workers are out in this storm. I thought once we lost it that would be it.
Its really bad right now, heavy rain and wind. Lots of limbs, debris but so far, all my trees and house are okay. I have friends in Sugar Land and if I hear from them, I will let you know.
