We live in a heavily wooded area (lots of trees down in any kind of storm) in the center of Houston and our power loop is small, so we are always last to have our power restored. The power company told me they take care of the most first and the least last. That’s us, the least. ~sigh~
We were without power for a day last week when one of the power lines fried in two pieces. Got the generator out and fired her up to power a window unit and the fridge. Probably need to stock up on about 50 gallons of gas just in case.
