You missed saying, "no lights in the heights"
C'mon! It was right there!
This is the biggest miss since they named the Detroit basketball stadium the “Little Caesar’s arena” and not the “Little Caesars coliseum.”
Yeah it’s frustrating. I’m trying to be zen about it- appreciating all the neighborly acts I’m seeing rather than focusing on the negatives. But I’m not looking forward to the temps tomorrow. Today has been shockingly cool so it was easy to just leash up the dog and go for a walk to break up the boredom and get fresh air. Tomorrow it will be a different story.
I did see several line crew trucks on my last walk of the day, which is encouraging. They’re not center point so it seems like the cavalry of outside help has arrived and is being deployed. But I’m mentally preparing myself for at least a few days of no power and praying to be pleasantly surprised.
In Heights too. Still no power. I’m so annoyed at how it isn’t simpler to turn the dang lights back on.
%&$#?@!^
There are a million trees down and some surely fell across lines, plus towers down. It’s going to take some time.
I know 😔 I know they are working hard. I’m just suffering right now. This situation is overwhelming.
I hope your power is back on! :-)
It’s back on 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Spring Branch still without. Really need some power right now
My community near long point and bingle got our power restored sometime in the last hour! Hoping your power comes back to y'all soon
Happy for you! Enjoy the a/c and wifi lol
We're close to Bingle and Long Point but so many utility poles our down in our neighborhood. We assume even if transmission is working, they can't turn it on bc so many poles need repair.
Fellow Branchacho here- without
Cypress near bridgeland. I'm not holding my breath. I know we're totally fucked...
Yall got wrecked 😣 So sorry my dude. Hang in there.
Same here. No power at longenbaugh and barker cypress either. Probably gonna be a while.
That’s where i am too, although we left our house to stay with family in Spring until power comes back.
Yeah, we just went and grabbed a generator today in Liberty, only place we could find one. Liberty is still under water from the last storm too. It's a shitshow everywhere right now.
Cypress near town lake power cam back on at 4:30
no power still in NW houston near 249 and cypresswood
Could be up to a week in some places according to Centerpoint
It’s so weird… we don’t have power but our back neighbors and across the street have power. Hoping that isn’t a bad sign for us and our fellow 15 houses that are out in our neighborhood
Do they actually have power or are running off generators? Just a thought
They would probably hear the generators. My mom lost power and couldn’t sleep because their neighbors generator is so loud.
lol yep. we had no power and had to grumpy sleep last night while neighbors ran generator
Yeah they annoyed me too, but worse than the generators was the lawn crew mowing and edging at 7:30 am when everyone is trying to sleep still but windows are open
Fucking hate that
Some are generators. Majority are not.
The apartment in front of me has power. And two buildings in my complex too have power.
Either they have generators or are on a different grid. After Ike, seven of us got our power back on after about a week, but it took longer for all the rest of my neighbors.
The jealous feeling seeing power across the street. We’re in the same situation. My parents got power, so we’re here now, charging up and vegging out on wifi.
Rice Military. Still none.
Also rice military. 77007. About to be 25 hours of no power.
Ditto
Samesies
Same. I fled town. Please let me know when its safe to come back.
It’s back as of 9:45pm
Thanks
If it comes back in rice military please let me know!
Negative. Still no power
Parts of Energy Corridor still out
That could be funny rat thar.
Barker and Clay. Power restored earlier today.
Some hope!
no power in garden oaks!
Garden oaks and nothing. Happy to be safe but whew… we’re bored.
😅 yuuup. Comparable sentiments
Same neighborhood, same feeling. I’ve already read a whole book and played 6 rounds of board games with my husband lol
I’m solo parenting a few toddlers and as much as I really do try, I was really not trying to raw dog this phase of life without the help of Bluey.
No power still at Shady Acres. 😭
I feel the same way —> 😭
77449 here in Katy at Barker/529 still without power. The Kroger has power, nothing else.
My block is still out but everybody else around us is lit up like midday. Centerpoint says 8pm.... but then again this is Centerpoint we're talking about here.
Ffffffffffffffffff....
EDIT: HOLY SHIT CENTERPOINT DID SOMETHING ON TIME FOR ONCE!
I can't get the center point site to work at all?
They pretty much just turned the damn thing off. I only knew a time because a neighbor called them up to ask.
Congrats on your power! Where are you located?
Sharpstown
Can y'all say where you're at when posting please?
Edit: for the benefit of those reading still without power, thanks.
Sharpstown
Same here. 🤦🏻♀️
Still no power in Timbergrove.
We got turned back on in the Bear Creek area about 4:00 this afternoon.
At West Rd and Jones. No power for 24 hrs. I've lived at this apartment for 8 years and the power has never been out this long before.

The front of my subdivision is mocking me.
Central spring branch, 77080 no power
Same, but both sides of us have power in some places
Got power back 1:15pm today. Little Off of jones and cypress north Houston. 77070.
Hoping we get restored today as well. Glad yall are back up & running!
Thanks! Be safe & Hope y’all get power back too soon!!
Did yours go out again? We got ours back at the same time and it kicked off again a bit ago.
Yep, it went away 🥲
Oop came back
Tomball no power
It flickered on and off again 3 times last night. I thought for sure they were working on it and it’d be back today. Guess not.😢
No power by rice village area still
Bridgeland…less than a mile from where the tornado came down and pretty close to all the mangled towers. We have a generator so we’re okay, but I’d love to have xfinity come back online because T-Mobile service is godawful here even without all the outages.
I will be genuinely surprised if we get power back within a week.
Xfinity has some free hotspots open to the public now.
https://www.xfinity.com/learn/internet-service/wifi/hotspot-map-mobile
T-Mobile's service just encouraged me to drive to use Walmart wifi and sign up for an esim with Google Fi.
I don't know how different the towers are but I can actually now read reddit whereas this morning I couldn't!
Montrose Menil still no
Montrose and Westheimer and we got power at like 4 am. I hope you guys do too soon!!
- Still nothing.
Still running off generator in 77388.
There are a lot of people without power in the Waller, Prairie View, and Hempstead area. It may be a while for them.
Have you looked at the maps, still 500-600k people without power. This is a Ike 2.0 for some people, prepare in late spring showers all, now we gotta have the same outlook as we do hurricane seasons.
no power midtown east of Main though there are areas nearby that do.
77004, McGowan and Crawford here, still no power.
saw some homes around Anita and LeBranch with lights so I’m hopeful it will be back soon
I saw a CP truck, earlier, on McGowan near Austin so I'm somewhat hopeful.
I’m in Austin and Hadley area so I hope so 🤞🏻
Galena Park and I don’t expect to have power anytime soon.
77015 still no power
I came back from work and there’s centerpoint workers on my street. Trying to smother hope but it was a good sight.
West of the Galleria no power, all the restarants on Westheimer are open! Hot food, cool room and charging For your devices.
Power here JUST came back on, maybe 10 min ago!! 77007
The wind knocked down main transmission lines. Gonna be a while before power is back on my friend. Hope everyone is ok
My power came back at 3:30 AM and then within 5 minutes cut out again.
My theory is they tried turning us on and overloaded the system because the transmission lines were down. Must be on a low priority circuit and won't get power back until they repair the transmission lines.
Going to be a long two weeks.
Supposedly, it could last up to two weeks. Gotta embrace for a long one. I hope we can get it running before the weekend is over.
no power over in 77016 on the NE side of town
77375 here, South side of Tomball near 249/99. We usually power back right quick but we're still down.
I'm near you off kuykendahl/Dowdell. A tree fell onto a car yesterday and the power lines. I saw them working on it a few hours ago. Praying it comes back on soon.
77049 no power
650,000+ still without power as of 4:30...so yeah, lots of people!
Not so hot today, thats good!
Still no power out here in Spring. Our apt’s water pumps run on electricity, so had they not put it on a portable generator we’d be without running water as well.
Any power in Fall Creek? I’m away on a business trip and scared to what I’ll come back to.
no
77038 - no power

No power in this part of Spring Branch East
77493 no power

Our apartment complex in Humble still doesn't have power, but everyone else around us does. My husband is the only one at his job that lost power.
None at San Felipe/Chimney Rock
Yes, still no power in cottage grove
I’m building 2 of 2 for our apartment. The entire 2 mile radius has power except our side of the complex. 24 hours later. TMC
Eastwood no power
Anyone got power on the northside by 45 ?
EaDo have lights in less than 20 hours My house remind cool and comfortable
Please if anyone in Houston that especially lives somewhere where having a gas generator is not plausible, please consider using a BLUETTI portable power generator. We have a local office in Houston and I am taking orders, we can ship things out to you quickly. We also run whole homes on our batteries with solar panels on your roof, and our battery just beat out the Tesla Powerwall 3 as the best home battery. So please reach out to me if you are looking for an affordable way to have emergency power and negative electric bills.
How do I get the power in it?
Well they come pre-charged but you can plug it into a generator, wall outlet, or a DC source like a solar panel or car.
It’s just kind of unrealistic man most people need power now and not shipping out tomorrow
Then don’t get one. But if your neighbor has a generator or you can go charge one up somewhere and bring it home then it makes a lot of sense. It’s for emergency power or somewhere away from shore power.
I’m not talking about the ability to charge it I’m talking about the ability to get it
Got a warehouse full of them in Dallas. Send me a DM I’ll try to get it to you ASAP
I’m in east downtown near the soccer stadium and I feel bad. I lost power for maybe 60 seconds during the height of the storm and that’s it. People just a few blocks deeper east don’t have power.
I feel like I don’t deserve power when everyone else is suffering lol
No, everyone got power back. They took out the old high voltage towers that were knocked down and installed new ones in under a day.
What kind of stupid question is that ?

Still no power in Heights.
