Power Outage in Walden

Well! Warning:Rant Ahead!

Here it is 9:15am on Thursday on a perfectly sunny morning and *POOF* the power is out. About 10 minutes LATER, CenterPoint alerts us that it's a "planned outage"! Grrr! It's a POORLY PLANNED OUTAGE if you don't notify your customers AHEAD OF TIME! BTW, they say we'll have power back on by 1pm. One can hope!

Rant Over! Thanks for letting me vent!

CORRECTION: DH called CenterPoint and DS went online. CP claims to have sent out an alert ahead of time but we didn’t receive any.

KathyMarshall : Why oh why dont' they do scheduled outages when the weather is more bearable?! Well at least, we have some cloud cover..at least here in Kingwood. I have to go cut grass and I would be **** if I came back in to cool off and ..no A/C because I didn't know it was going to be out!! Rant over.
