no hot water, even worse; no internet!

I'm okay. I had some fence damage and a lot of debris in my yard, but nothing major. I have to admit that watching the wind blow was a bit scary.
The power has been out since Friday at 10:37 pm. 4 1/2 days so far, so I lost the contents of my refrigerators and freezers. Thankfully the weather turned cool (80 high/60 low, pretty chilly for a Houston September) so we have been fairly comfortable at night.
My daughter didn't like the impact on her lifestyle of not having electricity so she drove to San Antonio yesterday with her brother. School will be out until at least Wednesday, and she heard a rumor that it would be next Monday until school resumes.
I'm posting this from work, where the power just came back on. :applaud: Don't tell my boss.

I thought you didn't live that close to Houston?
Cakemeister:
The Houston metropolitan area is very large.

So even though I live out by what used to be Compaq, that's still 20 miles from town.
At 10:37, I've been without power now for 6 1/2 days.
