Houston Winter Storm of 2025 - Super Mega Thread

All things (except photos) related to the big freeze of 01/20 - 01/22 should be posted here. Questions, thoughts, etc. Post as comments. Photos need to be posted in the other mega thread created for that.

8:45 AM Wednesday: 7,157 customers without power. A little high but not too surprising.

Here's the CenterPoint outage map link.

If you do lose power and use a generator, be sure you have a CO monitor and don't run that thing in a location that could let the exhaust get into your living space. You don't get a warning, you just die.

Update: Use caution if you decide to go out, today. Hollister from 1960 to Beltway 8 is clear & dry as of 6:30 AM Wednesday, but your mileage may vary. Google Maps traffic overlay shows most freeways closed as of 8:08 AM today. Probably TXDOT is just being very careful not to rush into opening things while it's still iffy.

City, county, courts & schools remain closed as far as I know.
