A long line of cars wrapped around Popeyes in Humble, stretching all the way from the drive thru and out of the parking lot onto FM 1960 backed up to Kenswick Drive on Aug. 28.

Cassandra White sat in her vehicle with two children waiting behind others in the line on FM 1960. She isn't a regular Popeyes customer, but like many others ahead of her, decided to jump on the opportunity.

"I didn't know Popeyes was open," she said. "I had to take my mom to dialysis and I saw an opportunity to get something to eat."

A few Humble area establishments braved the weather to remain open for patrons.

A skeleton staff rushed around the Cici's kitchen at FM 1960 Business road and U.S. 59 in Humble, busy preparing pizza for several hungry customers.
