18 days without power?

Yes. This is going to be bad. But how bad? CenterPoint Energy is warning the Houston area now that this will easily be as bad as Rita that wiped out so much of the power grid it was close to two weeks before all the power was restored. It's going to be highly variable, certainly. I'm guessing three days for Casa Cuppacafe. The more trees in your area, the more likely the power is to remain out if it does go out. We're relatively close to a power substation, and much of our neighborhood has underground power lines. Naturally, that's not the case on the power lines coming IN to the neighborhood.

Stay safe and keep us posted!

I’m sure this doesn’t help, but...
