Ike

I hope everyone's BMWs are ok after Ike. My house didn't have a garage, so I parked it in my girlfriends parking garage. The lower level of her garage got completly flooded, but luckly I was parked on level 2. Now, the name of the game is 'conserve gas until the stations start getting filled.'

Cheers,
Mike

Hang in there dude. I have family in Humble and Kingwood and they are still without Power. My father and sister are having a hard time finding premium gas for their BMWs.

Yeah, I live in the Heights of Houston, and still without power. Girlfriend in midtown still without power. Parents in Spring (NW Houston) still without power... Ughh. Hopefully all the gas stations will be filled by Thursday (which is when I'll be out and have no way to get to work Friday).

Shoot, they were empty Friday before the storm hit. Some of them have gas now, but people are waiting over 2 hours to fill up.

I've heard the pumps in Katy aren't really having an issue with traffic.

I'm okay. Cars got a tick over half a tank. So we'll see how I do.

FYI, if you're in the NW part of town check out the Chevron station on Senate/290 (Jersey Village). The entrance is on Senate headed into the neighborhood. One way in, one way out of the lot.

I pulled in line at 6:20 yesterday afternoon. Drove away from the pump at 6:30pm. They were running very efficient. I'm not sure if they were running out of gas or just shutting down for the night, but when I left they had put up the yellow caution tape.

Worth a shot.

Still without power here....

Apparently my zip code has extensive damage and they do not know how long it will be...


Sigh.
