No exaggeration whatsoever, in 2008 when I very first moved from Florida (Hurricane? big deal) to downtown Houston, hurricane Ike arrived about a month later.

No exaggeration whatsoever, in 2008 when I very first moved from Florida (Hurricane? big deal) to downtown Houston, hurricane Ike arrived about a month later. I lost power for 15 days. 15!! People forget that you still have to try to shower, go to work, drive back home, put gas in the car, pick up food. NOTHING had power within miles of me except for the Hospitals for a week+. Had NO idea when I'd get power. I had to order food at work online to get shipped to my house because the only thing that was reliable was the USPS.
