The weather news in Tyler said Groveton got 12" of rain. When you can't watch the news, it's generally because you are the news. I hope your power comes back on soon. I've had the kind of gas stove you have, thank you Jimmy Carter (former president) for doing away with pilot lights on gas appliances to save energy. :somad I am reaching to the back of my mind, gas stoves went to electronic ignition to spark the gas flame. I am pretty sure that you can light the burner with a match, but not the oven. That is, unless the energy police did something else to gas stoves to save us from ourselves.

Do you have a phone charger that plugs into outlet in your vehicle? :idunno That would help with one problem. Sometimes stress of the situation prevents us from thinking well.

Any chance you have a fireplace? I'm thinking little fire to cook, have light.

I ended up charging my phone in my car. I've got about 70%. That'll last me a long, long time.

Still no power.

About to head to bed.

@Mini Horses normally I would just grill. However,I was feeling lazy. McDonald's fed me well enough.

I'm getting worried about the food in the freezer. If I still don't have power in the AM ( power company calls and leaves messages, they say could be Saturday night!) I'm going to get a small geneator just for the freezers so a don't lose all our meat.

@Baymule yup. That's Trinity river, which is up over 30 ft.

White rock creek feeds the Trinity, second photo, she's up quite a bit as well. All the bayous and creeks feeding it are swollen and over flowing.

We still don't have power. But my t.v. and internet bills just auto drafted. So. There's that.

:lol:
