Our entire city just lost water....ugh!Still having rolling blackouts. Some have been without power for 12 hrs.
Oh no ... definitely not good at all. Thanks for the updates. Worried about everyone.
We lost power last night for about 5 1/2 hours. I was very worried about the house pipes freezing. Barn water was shutdown on Sunday.Yesterday I hauled over 100 gallons of water with buckets from inside the house to water horses and cows.I am so grateful the power is back on. So co-workers are on their second day with no power.
We have been VERY lucky so far here. Everything working as it should so far. Low temp this morning 3 degrees.
@DanielTurnerPTFChina is building more coal plants this year than all Europe combined currently has.You know why? Look at Texas.You think china is going to allow itself to get caught in the dark? They have a world to conquer.And liberal American china apologists are aiding them.8:23 AM · Feb 16, 2021·
We got our power back 3AM this morning. My daughter is still without power. My son in Brownsville even lost power.
Just lost power again, Dang It!
@mystery-ak @GefnDenton County 30 miles northwest of Dallas. Today is Tuesday, 10:30 am central - temp now 7 degrees. Were at 0 last night. Wind chill was -30 last night.We are feeding the birds good birdseed and they are in and out eating all day. We put the pans with the seed under a table out there so snow would not get into the seed.Here is why they do not freeze: https://www.audubon.org/how-do-birds-cope-cold-winter
Birds are swarming here. Have to refill all three feeders 3X a day now. Did see one dead Robin and Blue Jay out by the tree line though Who knows, may have been sick and vunerable, and the freeze did them in,
@catfish1957 Thanks for your bird post. We can sit at the kitchen table where we are now, and there is a large window, and see the birds flying in and eating. They live in our bushes and in the many bird houses we have.
@Victoria33 Enjoy watching the birds. 3 feeders pretty much cover any bird we have. One with sunflower, and second with mixed seeds, and a 3rd with meal worms.
Being that the city owns iits own Electric Company living near the Mayor and your City Council member does seem to have it's advantages. Rolling Blackouts are throughout town, damn near 51% last I looked. My bed and it's electric blanket is still the warmest thing in my old house. Damn Germans went cheap when they built this thing in 1894 using Limestone blocks for insulation which obviously has a very poor RH factor.*Even the Radio Station is down.
