  1. Also, after the last several years, there's this growing feeling of dread that this is just how life in Houston works now. At least once or twice a year there will be a hurricane, freak storm, or bitter cold that will fuck everyone's life up for a solid week.
  2. I think right now a lot of the frustration with CP is their almost complete lack of communication. They post a message once every 4 hours or so and it's mainly just generic bullshit like "Houston was hit hard by Hurricane Beryl. We are assessing damage and dispatching crews to begin restoration. Please check on your neighbors and don't use generators inside". They no longer provide any kind of outage map and are not really providing anyone with timeframes. People literally have no idea if they'll get power back later today or 2 weeks from now. Add on that a lot of us just went through this exact shit less than 2 months ago. Shit, we even lost power for half a day a week or so after the derecho, just due to a regular old summer thunderstorm.
  3. Welp, finally made it up to my office and have an internet connection for first time in 30 hours or so. Fortunately this building never seems to lose power. Briefly thought I was one of the lucky ones when I woke up yesterday morning and still had power and wifi working. That lasted about 20 minutes. Not a flicker since. Have literally no clue as to when we might get power restored. We were out for 6 days following the derecho. Immediately got the ball rolling on getting a generac installed, and were praying we'd get it in before another storm. No such luck. Really enjoyed getting to do yet another full refrigerator purge less than 60 days after the last one. Wife is driving over to meet my parents halfway and hand off our dogs for the next few days. We realized during the last outage how much harder it makes it to find a place to stay if you're lugging around 2 dogs with you.
  4. 1 pm update with a slight tack to the SW. Still basically the same ultimate path, but landfall moves a little down the coast.
  5. Really no change in the last 4 updates from NHC between 1 am and 10 am.
  6. Altuve all smiles during post-game interview. Says hand is already starting to feel better. I highly doubt he'll be back in action immediately, but I'm not currently expecting a prolonged absence.
  7. Tuve contusion on left hand. X-rays negative. No fracture.
  8. Couple of buddies made the road trip for this one after talking about doing so for years. Little bit of regret at not tagging along. Not gonna get above 80 in the Twin Cities this weekend. Meanwhile, sitting around here hoping not to catch too much of a hurricane.
  9. Thank God for that Bregman insurance HR to put us up by 8!
  10. Having to bring your closer with 2 outs in an inning that started 13-5. SMDH.
  11. Bregman just passed Springer for 6th most HR in an Astros uniform. That was #175. Altuve has 222 for 5th, one shy of Jimmy Wynn.
  12. Getting real fucking tired of the HBP.
  13. Not great news for Seadrift/Port Lavaca on the 10 pm update.
  14. No further eastward shift in the 7 PM Friday update from NWS.
  15. 4 pm update from NHC nudges a little further east than the morning tracks, but still aiming at Corpus.
  16. Unless I'm reading this wrong, the latest intensity forecast has this thing mostly staying below Hurricane strength.
  17. No further shift in the 1 pm update. The updates tomorrow afternoon will really start helping to narrow down where this thing is heading.
  18. 10 am update from NWS has landfall early Monday morning just SW of Corpus. Each update gets a little further up the coast. Right now looking like this thing could come in anywhere from Baffin to Matagorda.
