Afraid so... watching Houston's channel KHOU on DirecTV here... says Centerpoint Energy is now reporting 425,000 w/o electricity... has been rising steadily... interesting to watch it "live".
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all! 
Edit: jfre81, that's the 3rd time you've faked me out tonite!!! Keep on keeping on!

That's my style.
Getting some pictures uploaded - they're not very good, but they demonstrated that we ain't in the dark yet

It's all propaganda which is part of a conspiracy to keep me off city-data. |

A client of ours actually said today that the news media was focusing on Ike's approach as a distraction from the political debates that should be taking place. Huh?? I just love conspiracy theorists!
jfre81, glad you're okay and "power"ful for the moment!

A couple of brief flickers here and there that aren't even enough to turn off my router.
Still no cable. It's history for the time being methinks.
And even without power, I'll still be safe...
I blame the liberal counterculture movement of the 1960s for this hurricane. Damn hippies.
