We awoke in darkness again this morning. I was able to get some news on the grid: 75% of the heavy transmission lines on the gulf coast have been damaged. As a result, getting power back up for the entire region could take up to six weeks.
That’s the bad news. The good news is, most of the damage is on the east side and over toward Beaumont where electric service isn’t expected for over a month. Just on the other side of Westheimer, there’s electric. There’s electric just west of Eldridge. So, we know transmission isn’t an issue here. It’s a matter of them working through popped transformers.
In the meantime, we’re working our way through canned food and the last of our bananas. There’s no school tomorrow and I’m kicking around a drive out today. Stay tuned for details.

I’m concerned about the safety of assets at MogerMedia. The electronic locks on the building have failed. The front door is chained, but the back two doors are easily opened. Today, John and I will go in and harvest the main server and three other key PC’s. The rest of it will just have to wait.
