4100 people without power in Houston no current reason
There are currently scattered power outages in Houston with the largest in west Houston 4177 customers without power. No bad weather at all. Just random citywide disruption.

How many households are there in greater Houston? 1 million plus?

I'll bet they're all amped up over this. Are they showing any resistance to the problem?

My power was just restored. I have internet on a battery backup. Strange thing was 5 minutes before power restoration I could not get cell service. And my internet connection dropped.

This happened in NC a week ago. 6 towns lost power at the same time in different parts of the state.

I believe they are giving the grids a dry run.

Power back on for half now only 2300 as of 825pm. Outages were random and scattered throughout the city but were in a uniform pattern. Did someone just try to hack our grid?

West Houston area I-10 near Fry Rd. As I said outages were scattered through entire city in very small areas of 46 to 48 customers. One large outage on north side with over 200 out. I verified with Centerpoint Energy outage page.

Welcome to socialism, that's how it all started down here.
1 John 1–3._ 1Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God.

I think someone is testing our grids for vulnerabilities. Texas is on it's own power grid. It's not connected to the rest of the country.

Re: 4100 people without power in Houston no current reason
Is this considered a big deal? Over 30,000 homes in my area (including my own) lost power for 3 1/2+ days last year, for no given reason. No storm, no high winds, nothing.

Nothing really happened. Just sucked because, even at night, it only got down to 89*F.
