My neice lives in Spring ,Texas.
Just above Houston too.
She works for Exxon and the building their dept uses is trashed so, Exxon has told her no work till at least next week.  Her significant other is going to community college in Houston. It too is closed till at least next week, so no school for him.

They weathered the storm at home and stayed till yesterday morning. 
When they found out they would not have to work for a while they loaded up ther Escape, turned off the main breaker at the house and went to her sisters in Little Rock. They figured it was a good time to visit.
  She said that some of the business are getting power back along the strip, but the only houses that are getting power are incidentals that are lucky enough to be on the same section of power grid. They don't project getting into the communities to power them up till next week at the earliest.

  Exxon told her not to worry about anything. She will get her pay, working or not.
Nice to know they at least take care of their employees with all those profits!
