100 WAUGH HAS POWER!!

It appears that the office will be back online tomorrow morning. If you want to come into the office to work, it will be a completely safe and comfortable place to do so; however, the Partners want you to know, that it is entirely each person's choice. Family issues still come first, of course, and if you don't need or want to be there this week, that's not a problem- please feel free to continue to work remotely for the rest of the week.

CenterPoint Outage Map and Projected Power Restoration

Many of you may already know about this, but CenterPoint's outage map and projected power restoration dates can be found here.

Again, I have no idea how reliable this information is, but I pass it along for what it's worth.

Community Thread

We are already seeing instances of Team Lionstone coming to the aid of our suffering hometown, and it would be great if people would post those and related stories in the comments to this Post. I am starting it with a Comment that Tom left elsewhere about what he has planned for tomorrow. Add your own stories, including those where you have seen instances of people helping other people in need. That's what times like these are all about.

A message from Tom

Tom posted this in the Comments but I think it deserves to be on the blog itself where people can read it:

"I am so thrilled by the performance of each and every member of Lionstone under these strange and stressful conditions. As the hurricane turned to Houston, we decided the philosophy was People, Lionstone, Community. People and Lionstone are doing so well that I have been allowed to spend the entire day on Community. Houston will once again show the country and the world what an amazing place this is. And, we are all going to have some amazing stories."

Gasoline Thread

One of the problems we are hearing about is that of the scarcity of gasoline, in part because the service stations themselves often lack the electricity to run the pumps. The purpose of this thread is to let people share what they know about the gasoline situation in their neighborhoods. Who has it? Who needs it and doesn't? Any tips for keeping ahead of this issue?

KHOU has a gasoline finder on its website. http://www.khou.com/gasstation/ Not sure how reliable it is, but here it is for what it's worth.

Comments

I have changed the settings so that there is now no need to register in order to comment. That should improve user-friendliness.

People Status

We have been keeping a tally of what people need for life to return to normal for them. Here is our current list. Take a few minutes to look it over and let me know if you should be on it, or if you know of anything we've missed.

Thanks.
