Well it started out with no internet from Comcast and spotty service from T-Mobile but my electricity was on and I was comfortable. I just couldnt work because I work from home on the internet.
Then no water and at 10:36 pm on Tuesday the electricity went out. It came back on Wednesday morning about 2:30am but went out about 9am went out again. I went to a friends house who had electricity for a few hours (my husband stayed home in the cold because my friend has animals that mess with his allergies.). I came home because he was hungry but all I could find to bring home were Doritos and bean dip and coffee. It teased me for about 5 minutes when the electricity came on and went right back out.
Im sitting in my car charging my phone and getting warm. Its 55 degrees in the house.
Update: We now have electricity. Still no water for bathing or dishes. We are under boil water orders but no water to boil. But due to my husbands niece, we now have plenty of drinking water.

(3,765 posts)for 2 more nights. I hope we arent out of electricity and water for the whole time. Also my work isnt going to pay me for time Im off, so Im losing more than $100 a day for every day my internet is down. And my husband isnt able to work either.

Hell is freezing over in TX.
My advice? Get the fuck out.
I saw Houston skyscrapers lit up like Fourth of July and the residents in the dark. Need any more reasons to get outta hell? There are plenty.

It is good advice. Not that you have to take it.
I hope you are doing better this morning.
