What a relief it is to start having real-time feedback from Algiers. Here’s some more:
They’re clearing the streets fast and furious with Caterpillars – just pushing the trees and branches right down to the intersections. Kabel got cleared today.
The person I just spoke with talked to some military folks. He was told that Algiers is divided into nine sections, each being separately patrolled. (This particular patrol was on foot, carrying M-16s.)
North Houston Power is also working hard in Algiers. They’re apparently hoping to light up a couple of places by tonight (!!).
Also – if you have a pet concern in the Walnut Bend or New Aurora area, either e-mail me or post your query, general location, and a phone number in the pets forum.
Please – do NOT post information in the forum or comments that exposes your home’s security (like key info, etc.).
Wow! More later…
So Nice to Have News

I just got back from algiers, every shop on Kabel Dr. ” LOOTED ” Suprised…..Also Kabel is not clear of trees
clublove – not sure when they cleared it. The person who called me said it must have happened sometime this afternoon, cuz the trees were still there in the morning. Maybe it’s not all the way down? Or one side only?
when i left at 4:00pm they were working on MacArthur Blvd. & doing a great job!!! I live in WB, i would not suggest that you go home unless you do not plan on staying..PLENTY of tree’s down..or should I say very few standing. Also hard to see things the way they are, not to mention the LOOTING of Kabel Dr. To take stuffed DEER HEADS from the barber shop and leave the soft drinks in the beauty salon is really mind blowing. Unless they thought they could cook the DEER HEADS.
