Well, at an early 6am, Dad and I are driving back to Houston tomorrow morning. I have to have my blood test done for gestational diabetes (fingers crossed I don't have that, especially since I've been chowing down on chocolate in case I can't have anymore for 3 months...) first thing, then we're off to see what Longstone has in store for us. We're going on 1 week without electricity (and maybe water, I'm not sure...). I sure do miss my little house. :(
On a positive note, though everyone keeps complaining that it's been this long without power, I have to give the electric companies a hand, because as of right now, 42% of Centerpoint's customers have had their electricity restored. Now, I know that's not even half, but they have a total of 2.26 million customers, and when you think that 939,000 have it now - that's a lot people. It's especially a lot if you've seen/heard what it's like. Brian says there are snapped power poles and lines everywhere (thanks to tornados). It's not as simple as just flipping a switch, we're talking actually having to reinstall electric poles and wires.
Keep up the hard work, Centerpoint. We'll do our best to be patient as we know you're working as hard and fast as you can. Thanks!!
