I'm in west Houston, SBISD - which is closed until next Monday. Cell towers are up and working, but it's spotty, more often, calls go into voice mail, it's the ultimate game of phone tag, every once in a while I'm lucky and a call will go through. The weird thing is, my land line is out. We keep two plug in the wall (no electricity needed) phones for emergencies, but there is no connection at all. We also have no cable or internet (at home) but since we have no power, it's not an issue. I'm just hoping that it's back on before some of my favorite fall tv shows start back up!!

All the roads and hiways are open that I know of, even down at the bay (not the island). There is very little traffic though, which is nice. There is still a curfew in effect, so restaurants and stores are closing early.

It is strange to drive at night from one part of town that has power to another without because you go from bright lights to a vast nothingness of black streets and houses. We are really keeping our fingers crossed that we get power soon.
