[geeks] Mr Bill?

[Ido Dubrawsky]

What is going on down in Houston?  I grew up in Houston (Central, SouthEast and
NorthWest) and my parents still live in Northwest Houston (in the Spring-
Cypress area) and I just spoke with them this morning and they told me that 
they are expecting to be without power for another week!  They're even post-
poning coming up to DC to visit me and the kids because they don't want to 
leave the house without power and with all the downed branches around.

When Isabel hit the DC area in 2003 we were without power for just 3 days
(and we live further out in the "burbs" than the equivalent place where
my parents live in Houston).  Hell, I remember when Hurricane Alica hit 
Houston in 1982 and we were only without power for about 3 days.  And Alicia 
was a Category 3 hurricane.  Looks like when Houston Lighting & Power became 
Reliant energy it also no longer was so reliable!
