Got my power back yesterday. We turned every light on in the house and lowered the ac to 73. Cable and internet came up at the same time. Just in time for the Survivor season...
It wasn't too bad. A friend took all my freezer stuff for safekeeping. The last few days I had a generator so we turned it on in the evening for lights. It was too noisy for all the time.
Luckily a cool front came in right after Ike and we had good weather for the first 4-5 days.
Now we need to get my daughter's place up and running. We got down on the island yesterday to clean out the (ugh!) fridge and fungicide the mold but it won't be livable for a while yet. Water is on for flushing, but you can't drink it and there isn't any power there yet.
One thing at a time.
