Power still out. Grandson brought me generator Wednesday evening. Chainsaws going non-stop for all downed trees. Corner gas stations and Kroger open yesterday. We're without power, but water stayed on. Granddaughter brought home ice from shift work she.picked up closer downtown Houston. This was a very messy destructive storm.
