We had some blinkage (Willowbrook area) when the storm blew in yesterday, but thank goodness that was all.

We've been having rolling brownouts here in San Antonio also. They are saying that due to the cold the power grid overloaded and CPS here is forcing this.

i noticed some power outages on my way to work. everything between waugh and montrose south of allen pkwy had no power. at least as far as i could see (i turn down dallas). that means the AIG building was sans power.

Stupid. No excuse. Blame it on all electric homes.
Dumb. Upshure rural co-op rocks.

Power here but I heard from a teacher at my kids school that power was out north of I-10. Lights out means traffic!

yeah, I spoke too soon.

At 7:30 we lost power here on the NW side and at my office in the Galleria.

Was out for a total of about 30 minutes.
