We have our power back. Bless CenterPoint Energy and the other repair crews.
This afternoon was sort of a post-hurricane block party outside. Our next-door neighbor with a generator offered us interim power. Another neighbor whom we barely know offered to run his big lawn mower over our lawn to collect the storm debris there. All four of us hit the yard and street to pick up a dozen bags of limbs, twigs and leaves. Everyone around us was doing the same.
Pretty nice, actually. And even better when we saw the lights come back on.
No cable tv, so I think we finish the NCIS marathon tonight. But Internet connectivity is functioning.
I hope everyone impacted by this crazy storm will back to normal soon.
