Are warnings all over the news?
Our governor is incompetent as fuck
Is the rule don’t assume incompetence when evil is the simpler answer.
/s
I mean Abbott is pretty fucking evil, like limiting payouts after taking a massive payout from getting crushed by a tree.
He definitely doesnt strike me as a stand up guy.
Man won’t stand for the nation anthem 😡
You mean like a comedian?
Seems like it’ll be cold
Fairly more optimistic than the previous years because there’s no rain in the forecast this time. Freezing is more manageable if there’s no ice everywhere. Of course there’s still the danger of pipes bursting because of lack of winterization. Then the most obvious, the fear of losing power.
I don’t have solar power, so the lights might still go out, but I still have a natural gas heater so I’m probably fine. I’m hoping we can keep the roads clear because I don’t want to use PTO until I can enjoy my time off.
Natural gas furnaces still need electricity to run the blower and exhaust fans
Neat, my heater is literally a gas burner on the wall, so it will work without electricity.
The pumps for the natural gas grid won’t be powered though. Now the question is if those have what I assume would be massive generators along the grid, which I doubt.
Gonna make sure my faucets have a slight drip and the outdoor ones are covered.
Other than that, we’ve got a kerosene heater and a jackery battery that’s been charging for a few days now. We’ll use that for charging phones/plugging in our wifi if the electricity goes out again!
I’ll probably be fine, but a lot of people won’t be.
Just praying ERCOT has their shit together
LOL

How has praying worked in the past? Is it time for Plan B?
Did they gain any regulatory power since the previous disaster?
I haven’t heard much about it tbh, but I’m in Houston so maybe it won’t affect us this time. That being said, thanks for the heads up! Abbott and ERCOT sadly have the ability to outdo even the worst disaster responses.
Texas, please don’t light camping stoves inside your houses this time, and please get carbon monoxide detectors.
Those photos a few years ago were painful to look at.
I keep forgetting that February is always colder than January. Just when I think I’ve made it through the winter, here comes February.
Thankful there won’t be ice, that was the biggest problem last time. As long as ercot can keep up with the elctricity demand, should be okay.
Winterize the camper. Maybe drip my pipes
Hope like hell that my 2500w inverter generator can start my HVAC blower so I can run the gas heat

Well, the freeze that took out power broke the cold records by about ten degrees, during the height of covid. Shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
Sure hope you knocked on wood after saying that
Fuck I just jinxed it.
At least in 2021, it was a low of 3 degrees. This weekend it’s a low of 10 degrees, so seven degrees warmer. Plus only a 20% chance of snow.

A double post accusing me of knowing about the 2 most popular hentai sites in the world?
Do you honestly think that literally anyone cares?

Don’t even pretend it’s about children or hentai sites or whatever. It was about getting banned from your favorite troll spot. You were making a fool of yourself on /c/conservative on your karo account, you got repeated warnings and repeated short-term bans. You only started after you got perma banned.
