for many southeast texans a hurricane like ike causes a great burden phisically but also finacially.almost everyone wants to know whats going on in their town,their neighborhood,but most of all whats happend or not happend to thier house.evacuation can be hard let me be the first to make that statement.ive been in the same hotel for almost two weeks now.officials are calling the phone hasnt stopped ringing...the one question that seems to go un-answered although commmonly asked is when can i go home ,and do i have power ?after being on this computer for hours i found a bit of information that some may find useful.follow the instructions given andyou can do the same:

1.go to kfdm.com
2.on the upper right hand corner of the screen find entergytx.com
3.go to numbers 123 type in your address and county along with our state and there u have it !

i got this off the entergy website:
