4,186,666 customers out of power - yesterday at same time of day in Texas, it was 2,842,736 without power

-16 in Houston this morning... am i reading that right

VERY suspicious.

I just read that it was 15F a few minutes ago.

-15 C

Its -9 in Toronto Ontario, Cananda

That's crazy. Where I'm at in Florida I think we'd literally die. I don't think I even own anything heavier than a light jacket and blue jeans. Mother of Gaaaawd.

Y'all stay warm over there in Texas. If you're not a libtard and love your guns and your wife and kids come on into Florida, the waters great!!......for now.

Although with Desantis AND Trump in the same state making waves with no lockdowns and other not 'new normal' shenanigans I think we're in the crosshairs too

On the bright side i bet this weather is killing some bugs.

Maybe BCHydro shut them off... [link to www.bchydro.com (secure)] Fucking Enron screwed it all up for me...let them all freeze. Bastard leftists mainly anyhow.

I own a tree company. I have a team that we call the storm troopers and all they do is go around the country getting contracts after major storms. I had them ready for West Palm when that absolute beast of a hurricane Dorian literally stopped in front of Mar-a-Lago and over the Bahamas for nearly two days then make a freaking 90 degree turn and graze N.C.

I've never ever ever seen something do that and I've used private forecasting a shitload of times for positioning my guys for rapid responses.

We live in insane times. These silent weapons for quiet wars are coming out and not worried about making noise anymore. We're starting to collectively show signs of PTSD as a population and people will ignore even the most glaringly obvious things because they can't handle it....weather warfare included.

It's a cool +4F in Dallas, TX right now. 15F in San Antonio.

For the nerds

I've found information on level 3 ERTCOT in this document which should outline their plan of attack on restoring power.

Need a time line? This is likely what they will be following since it was only 2 years old.

Crikey! The same happend here with the CEO of TelusBc's house... [link to www.telus.com (secure)] He lived/built up the highway from me and his house was 'avoided' for all 'down times'...and there were many. I get ya.

I do not have much faith in ercot

I know people in austin and san Antonio who are inside with the air temp below freezing

Freezing rain will build up on the powerlines until the weight of the ice (W/ wind) bring them down. I suspect this may be the cause of the power outages but am only guessing.

We always take our electricity for granted. Our power went out in Dec. for most of the day. It was inconvenient to say the least.

Take care of each other down in Taxas.

:prayer:

So they can hike up the price probably.

These people in Texas are not prepared, not the humans, not their pets, and not their homes. They're not Canadians, they're not accustom to having temperatures near zero F, and wind chills sub-zero. Having to deal with something like this is a once in a generation occurrence. You would be surprised how rapidly the indoor temperature can plunge without proper heating, when the outdoor temperature is that cold. And we're talking about nearly 4 million people presently without electricity in Texas alone, not even including the other dozen states with nearly another combined million also without electricity. I fear that hundreds or thousands are going to succumb to cold-related death. And the casualties for the wildlife could perhaps be even far greater, especially for migratory life that sought refuge from this same arctic air within the south, and now is trapped.

merit said, "first world country".....
and money went to the army....

My indoor temp below 50

I thought so too, yesterday.

spent a long time reading articles from Texas about the situation.

that reading never mentioned power line issues.

VAGUELY they referred to issues generating the power. And of course high demand.

Windmills don't work below a certain temp - and that was reached -

still looking for information.

most importantly, how are you doing, in the affected areas, which are more than Texas right now?

Day 2.

stay safe, glp-ers....

Possibly looking to ramp up imaginary Covid cases to justify a mass federal vax sweep in the coming days- git all them Texans nano-fibered and full of death/control nutrients.

Sad to report that I am dead.

I sat in my darkened house staring at the black screens that used to talk to me until I became the screens.

There are others here.

They scream so softly.

Still no power here north San Antonio. Two story 3K Sq Ft. Kitchen 46F and upstairs 43F. The house has never seen Temps this low.

Prayers for you guys, Scrump. Has anyone heard from LJS?

Fuck yeah that's what I been thinking..Nitinol powder nano particles in the death/China virus vacs.

quick send the texans AIDS blankets hahaha

My daughter sent me a message last night, her power is out. She lives south of Austin.
