There are still about 2 million customers without power here in Houston.

First priority is restoring power to hospitals and other essential services. Next is getting power back on Galveston Island. THEN, residential service.

Large numbers of utility crews are arriving from all over the US, so much of this work will be taking place simultaneously. BUT, it's a huge task and they've not even completed a full assessment of the damage yet.

Bottom line, we could be without power for two or three weeks.

P.S. I'm online via generator power. It's kinda like camping out in your own house.
