I am down here in south Texas. We don’t do snow and single digit temperatures. No power since Sunday night which has meant no heat; no cooking; no NOTHING. it’s too dang cold; I can’t drive as all roads are closed and even if I could, as of yesterday my car will not start. My entire city has shut down.
Meanwhile, the cold makes my muscles tense up so I have been locked up for 24 hours now with no end in site.
Ok... I’m done venting
Wow u do have it bad. Being up north we know how 2 deal with the cold.
I the best thing do is layers lots and lots of layers.
Run the water so ur pipes do bust because that’s another problem all together.
Can u turn ur oven on ? If so that’s a source of heat 4 u.
Be sure to call someone to let them know your condition so you don’t freeze to death
Wow, being in AZ I do not know these problems, but I hope you are ok, good luck and do your best
That is cold for Texas, hope you get your electric back on soon. 😊
i am so sorry ..
I’m so sorry! I hope you get the power back soon. Do you have family checking in with you every day? Are you wearing a hat all the time?
you have it bad,can't imagine no power,i am in alabama and we had snow and 4 degrees! but you texans have had it bad,so sorry,this too shall change
It is a natural disaster compounded by human error for the millions of your fellow Texans. I am so sorry and hope your power returns ASAP. Those of us who live in states that rarely experience winter's fury know all too well what happens when the power fails for an extended period. Virginia didn't have the disaster experienced by Texas, but just a winter storm that brought snow and freezing rain. The freezing rain brought down so many trees that fell across the power lines at a time when roads were impassable because of ice and snow. The state has equipment to keep primary roads open but the rest of the roads are often never plowed. On my 3 mile long road, a farmer with his big green tractor plowed the road clear (bless his heart), My 84 year old friend who lives alone was without power for three days this past weekend. This meant no heat, no cooking, no bathing and in her old 1920 era farmhouse, indoor temperatures matching those outside. She finally found a hotel room 45 miles away in an area that had power....but we're not in Texas. I hope you stay safe and well in this crisis.
That’s a long time to be without power. I hope it comes back on soon for you. Thinking of you and hoping this passes soon.
Praying for everyone!
