5 million without power after Ike, not even a storm known for it's winds:  http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/front/5999379.html

worst electric blackout in Texas history:  http://www.semp.us/publications/biot_reader.php?BiotID=539



what's confusing is the reporting of "customers without power" in relation to "people without power" - 1 customer might have a house with 6 people or be a commercial customer

of course, it also affected other states, not just TX & LA  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurricane_Ike





I think we were without power less than 1 day in Cypress from Ike, but we got very little wind - some areas were without power over 1 month.  What really sucked was losing power about 5 times in 1 day, albeit for very short periods, when ALEX went inland in MEXICO!!!  I think some of the repairs made during Ike really need to be revisited...
