  1. Is it me or does it feel like our state is falling apart before our eyes
  2. Texas pride is definitely taking a beating which is a good thing. We should be embarrassed and then do something about it. Unacceptable.
  3. My MIL lives off Southwest Parkway and has had power this whole time. My roomie and I went over there today to charge up everything we have, eat some hot food, and take a hot shower. Felt so good. Got an email from our complex that power was restored. Yay! We see lights back on on S. Lamar but no power to our building *womp womp*. Our apartment people told us that building are on different grids or whatever and to contact Austin Energy. That sounds like it would be in vain. Definitely starting to get chilly in here 🥶
  4. Is this where the rich people start hunting the poor people?
  5. Not a hurricane, but my roomies lived in Nashville last year when the tornado hit the city. Her power was out for a week, but that was due to power lines being destroyed. That’s why she’s confused like, wait, so the lines are ok, they just can’t turn on the power?? Yeah we live in a third world country. Thanks republicans.
  6. It’s almost as if the climate is becoming more unstable with more extremes. Eh whatever, I’m sure it’s nothing.
  7. Pfft it’s the pot heads’ fault bro, slorch the moron says so
  8. I live on S. Lamar and power has been out since about 2 AM. What’s annoying is I can see the neighborhood right behind us on Manchac all lit up. Just right there. They must be on the circuit that has St. David’s South.
  9. Clear out some water so not as much to freeze and expand when it gets colder tonight? That’s my guess
  10. Went for a short walk down S. Lamar and it’s a goddamned shit show out there. Cars sliding around struggling to get up hills. Can’t see the sidewalk since it’s covered by snow. I mean I know this doesn’t happen all that often, but seems like there was ZERO preparedness. Seems like incompetence everywhere
  11. Sounds like the inability to deliver natural gas is the main reason
  12. That was my question in an earlier post. They’ve lost the ability to continue the rolling blackouts? Like they can’t move to the next neighborhood? I don’t get it, makes no sense.
  13. Not to CR too much. But I remembered reading in texaggy them making fun of the liberals in California and how big, bad conservative Texas was an energy utopia. Yeah.
  14. My roomie opened ours this morning and I think that made it colder. So we closed them and I think it’s helping
  15. Wtf I mean I know this is a big occurrence, but how the fuck are we unprepared? This has been all people have been talking about for at least a week now. This isn’t a surprise
  16. Oh well that’s nice. Would have been nicer for him to figure out what was going on around 2 AM, but you know, it’s only been 7+ hours
  17. I just read a KUT article that said that COA is not able to roll the blackouts past the people already affected or bring them back online because of how severe it is. Which makes no fucking sense to me.
  18. So power has been out for 7 hours now. I assume that’s not part of the rolling blackout right? I haven’t seen anything from the COA about what’s happening
  19. So rolling blackouts that are lasting for 5+ hours? Get your shit together ERCOT
  20. Plus the dude is roooough looking for 41. Drugs and alcohol man
