If they bring a generator to the water pump near my house I’m shutting off my water and heading to my sister’s house.
In 2021, the morning of the big freeze they parked a big diesel generator at the water pump. They told us there would be rolling blackouts, but we ended up losing power for 4 days. After it got down to 40° in my house, I drove halfway across the metroplex in snow and ice, with my kids, to my sister’s house because she had power.
Her house is on the same grid as a hospital, she never lost power. Not even a blip. Mine is just a suburban neighborhood. I’m convinced they knew they were going to kill our power for an extended time, so they brought out the generator for their water pump. But they didn’t tell us, so we were unable to properly prepare. So not only did a lot of people have damage that could have been prevented, but my kids now get scared every time it gets cold thinking we’ll be in the same situation again.
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 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.
You are a pedophile, stop banning people for bringing it up, you fuckin nonce.
And yes, we do care outside of your conservative echo chamber, you are a child sex predator. This will not stop. You will not be left alone to promote child sexual predation. It is wrong and you are wrong for protecting it. You cannot ban people on the fediverse. we will continue to find you.
People were looking for sexual images of children, they could not find it, and you told them where to go to find it. You are a pedo helping other pedos to find pedo content. Undeniable.
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.
lol you fuckin linked to a place to find child sexual abuse imagery, and I posted about it in your sub, so you banned me.
Instead of giving an explanation.
You are a pedofile.
Stop trying to change the subject.
Tell me how reading a comment about how you responded to the difficulty of finding child sexual abuse content by PROVIDING LINKS TO A SOURCE FOR THAT CONTENT is trolling.
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.
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.
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.
