    Time for another check on our friends in Texas

    I'm reading Houston got hit hard and I know Ben is not that far away

    Less than an inch here. Thanks for asking.

    When we get far more, or far less, water than we need.

    Stay safe.

    I saw a news clip of high voltage towers toppled over on each other----that is not common

    My friend told me of a storm in Quebec where runs of towers went down due to high winds and ice loads---he was out of power more than a week. I have not seen anything similar to those clips from Houston due entirely to wind.

    Glad our "guys" are good
