Nearly half the city now has lights--have about one million customers to
go. Many intersections don't have traffic lights even if they did have
power. Many businesses between home and the office are still dark. I
still hear one generator across the bayou in my neighborhood. One of my
clients has postponed a shoot because their entire building (six story)
took on water, so they are having to move to a new location for many
months--they need room for about 400 employees.
Looting has been very minor here but a couple tried to steal a generator
powering a railroad crossing flasher but got caught. There is a fairly
long causeway with a lift bridge crossing to the Galveston Island. I
assuming it survived intact has it's been around for a long time and
more than of couple hurricanes. I have a photo of one of the Zephyrs
crossing it on a national tour.
I spent one day patching the roof, one day cleaning up branches in the
yard, one day uprighting my fence and am on my second day sheet rocking
over the water leak. I've got pains from places I didn't know I had!
Bill has mentioned his basement water leak when the hose burst. Homes
in my neck of the woods often have their plumbing and even water heaters
installed overhead. So a leaking water header will rain on your layout
if it's in the garage, same with some of the pipes. This might be a very
good reason to carry the NMRA insurance program on the layout/collection.
Because all the days are kinda run together, one night I did letter my
Smokey Valley flat car. A very nice kit but the decals were hard to
deal with for me. Nearly finished though--next to put about 20 years of
weathering on it. There's nothing worse than a new clean flat car deck!
