We're back baby!
Topped out at 148 hours. Hoping tonight's storm doesn't restart the cycle.
As long as it was 60 degrees outside, it was fine. Not ideal, but bearable. But I wasn't looking forward to 48 degrees tomorrow morning.- 6

144 hours and counting.

Crews appeared a few streets over a couple of hours ago. They were accompanied by at least five trucks of A&M Forest Service folks to help clear trees and branches.
Hoping they don't pack up when it gets dark because what they're working on now won't fix our street.
We'll be fine another night, but I'd really like to dress in the morning with lights.Hope is for suckers.
You're fucked. You'll stay fucked. Because fuckery.
I'll believe something is being done when I have actual fucking electricity at my house.
this is the correct response to my hopium post up above. They fixed the power two streets over yesterday before dark and drove away. Nothing today on our street.
I called the Austin Energy service line and they basically read the details from the outage map to me. "Oh, yes. I see it's you and 50 other customers that don't have power."- 1

"Austin Energy: Outage Update-We are still tracking outages in your area. Crews are now focusing on the most complicated and time-consuming restorations. Forecasted wind and rain this week could further complicate these efforts. Based on current info, we expect to restore power to nearly all remaining customers by Sunday, Feb 12. We expect many of our remaining affected customers will have electricity before Sunday. We will reassess the situation midweek. Reply STOP to cancel."
This is fine.

Yeah, that's the double kick to the nuts.I checked our fridges and freezers last night. Freezers are actually holding up, although tonight, I'm bagging up anything worth saving and taking it to my dad's to put in his extra freezer space.
Fridges are already a total loss. There are a few things in there (jellies, sauces) that can handle not being refrigerated for a few days, but everything else -- adios. And of course, trash pickup was....yesterday. So, will have that rank shit in the trash for a week. And all-in-all, that will be our "big loss," so counting our blessings.
No power and $300+ of groceries that we never ate.
Still no trucks in our part of 31. Not a word from AE.
I get it, the work is tough and time consuming, but I'd like to know where we are in line so I can plan. I think we were one of the first to lose power late Tuesday/ early wed.
I'm also keeping an eye on PECs outage map and watching that thing make more progress than AE. -
I haven't even seen a crew anywhere near our neighborhood.
That outage map hasn't made much progress in the past 24 hours.- 1

Just seems like they could've followed the first and second round models and split regional semis between Thurs and Friday and regional finals on Sat/ Sunday. Or at least put us in the evening on LHN.
How many more viewers does a 2pm game on espn2 get vs the viewers of a primetime game on LHN? -
Playing at lunchtime on a workday is a bummer.

I think all the people that sit in those empty seats in your picture are just 100 feet back in the club that's right behind those sections. The seats fill in quick because those people don't have far to go before tip.

Got a text earlier from Texas Sports with a PSA video from Zoe about when to cheer during serve.

They went on sale on the 18th but I don't think they made an effort to advertise it until the brackets were announced.
