The area around Beaumont/Port Arthur really got it good. As David pointed out, this turned into a Cat 1 hurricane really quickly and surprised everyone! All the forecasters were predicting it wasn't going to be a hurricane. They were predicting Houston all along and then when the storm didn't make a northerly turn, it surprised everyone. And all the people NE of High Island got caught with their pants down, so to speak. And to make it worse it came in the middle of the night. So a LOT of people went to bed thinking a minor league tropical storm would push through during the night and what actually happened was that they got a full blown hurricane!
 
Got my generator running - just needed an adjustment. I have no internet at home, so I'll be out of touch over the weekend.

I hope everyone else in the South where this storm headed is doing OK, I know flooding is a concern, but I've heard the rain is also needed in Miss. and Alabama.
 
Happy Hurricane, y'all!!!

The street lights have been on for an hour now, it is so dark outside from the very heavy clouds. The rain comes and goes, but the clouds are incredible! They just posted tornado warnings for the ATL area.
 
Well I'm happy now. Internet is back up and after installation of a hard start kit on my A/C, my generator can now run my central A/C as well as my fridges. The Servel gas fridge is working great too - I really need to restore that thing for future emergencies.

Utility power is still out to most of my area, but quite a few people got power today (not me). At current natural gas prices, my generator is going to cost $25.00 a day to run. Once the house is cool, I can turn it off at midnight and back on in the morning to save a little $$.
 
Glad everyone is ok

Just experienced some rain, more fell to the east and the south of my location. Seen lots of fallen cane to the east due to water and heard rice fields have damage to their "second" crop. Farmers have crop insurance for wind damage but not rain, go figure!
 
My power was restored yesterday at 5pm, so everything is back to normal now. I'm glad I invested in the generator, just wish I wouldn't have waited til the last minute to install it.
 
Glad your ok 58Limited and pretty much back to normal, looks like TS Ingrid has fizzled and turned to the north. Im hopin we all luck out this year. alr2903.
