Not really sure. One side of the neighborhood lost power about 5AM and the other side 830AM. I'm guessing this is not the "rolling blackout" since it is lasting more than an hour.

Normally, Centerpoint Utility has an alert system to tell us when things will be back on-line. That crashed this morning.

Could be a couple of days. I'm chipping ice from my sidewalk so that we can move my parents over here tonight. I'd forgotten how strenuous chipping ice can be.

Also came back inside to find better gloves. Snowboard gloves should do better than the leather/fur gloves.
