OK, so the headline was gay* but seriously… 2 million people in Houston without electricity and Centerpoint is saying it may take 2 – 4 weeks and possibly longer? I’m sure it’s safe to assume the actual translation of 2 – 4 weeks is “It shouldn’t be that long but we’re going to say 2 – 4 weeks to minimize complaining and liability.” My translation… it frickin’ sucks.

My mom was on her Blackberry texting me at 2:45am that her city view was black but she still had power; however, an hour later her power of Houston was officially gone. Thankfully, I fell asleep because I would have been a nervous wreck reading her next texts.
Wow, sheets of water, oak trees bent in double, things flying in the air and wind is howling.
Transformers are blowing everywhere. Rocket (my OCD Jack Russell) won’t stop barking, he’s a wreck, he needs a pill.
You can not imagine the transformers blowing. The entire sky is orange & bright blue.
I can hear things ripping but I can’t see anything.
Something is coming off the roof at Greenway.
Happy Hurricane! Swim Fast! Oh, wait that text was from Michalski.
I touched base with her first thing this morning and she’s fine. Then I spent some time watching the media coverage. Why do they always seek out the ugliest parts of town and the most rednecks of rednecks to interview? I saw a guy on T.V. today who said “My house is gone. Hey baby, if you’re watching this your apartment is fine so we’re gonna move in together! Whoo Hoo!” Actually, that was pretty funny and he was probably one of the best interviews. But nothing beats the guy on Fox News falling over last night and it was just as funny when they did the instant replay. I couldn’t find the clip on You Tube but I did find the one on Geraldo Rivera. See below.
* not that there’s anything wrong with that…
