When most people think about hurricane season, they imagine August or September storms churning across the Gulf. But                                              Hurricane Melissa                                               —now a                                                           Category 5 storm in the Caribbean                                              ,                                  is a powerful reminder that the season doesn’t end when the calendar flips to fall. Even late October can bring tropical moisture, heavy rain, and ripple effects felt far beyond the coast.                                                                                                                                     As East Texas residents watched the news this week, many were surprised by Melissa’s strength and timing. It serves as the perfect cue to review your home’s readiness for late-season weather and potential power disruptions.
 

When most homeowners think about power outages in Texas, summer heatwaves and winter storms usually come to mind. But autumn isn’t always the “safe” season many people assume it to be. From sudden weather swings to increased demand on the grid, fall can bring its own set of challenges - and that means preparing your home for outages is just as important now as it is during summer and winter.
