Tornadoes in southern states ongoing! Injuries and people trapped!

Brought to you by geoengineering.

Then move out into the country where it's typically cheaper than living in the city?

Sorry, I don't buy that most Americans have zero savings. Unless their parents didn't teach them to save properly.

I'm 35y/o and retired at 30. And wouldn't ya know it, if the dollar collapses I'll be even richer!

More ice on the way

Maybe spend the money to winterize the grid? Maybe legalize recreational weed and use tax profits to pay for winterization if it's too expensive?

I see why we get shit on for being backwards sometimes because this is some third world level stuff. At least we have the consolation prize of being Proud of having our own broken grid as we freeze once again this winter.

Abott is an assclown who makes conservatives look bad

It aint that bad, in the DFW area, yes there is some ice on the roads, but not that much and nothing to panic over. Im sure any place that has overhead lines or the like will have issues from the weight of the ice building up, otherwise not many will have power problems, you guys forget how big Texas is compared to the other states. Not many are having problems, but hope those that are get things resolved asap.

Texas aint blue yet, they have been trying for sure, but it will be a few more cycles before it flips, unless they cheat again that is, which would not surprise anyone.

So far, this is a few isolated problems. Tonight is the real test.

this!

If Texas was blue, there would be millions without power.

Many Millennials have their priorities all wrong.

It isn't the parents fault.

Society has created a live for today, fuck tomorrow generation.

Would be cheaper to have a kerosine heater and a few coolers so you can put food outside so it won’t spoil. Or put it in bags and place it in your car. And have blankets and cold weather gear which people should have anyway.

The grid would have collapsed.

Another normal winter. Only Texas is making a drama.

Texas is already taken back...... the true enemy are not the left...... it is the right, freedom fighters, flag flying, god fearing, Freemasons posing as the ones trying to save the country....... they are what will shepherd in communism...... they are the ones lying to the true patriots. They are the ones involved in child trafficking .....

Waco, TX
More rain than expected last night-
Was worried for a bit around 11PM last night.
Less ice - maybe 1/8 inch
Close to 1/2-inch snow at my house - a little more than an inch & I'll take my kid sledding at Cameron Park

Yup there were several threads last summer not many bothered commenting.

Im doing well down here in San Antonio. My lights flickered a few times this morning, but no outage. However, I live across the street from a fire dept, so it's unlikely that I will lose power anyhow. Last year, we did not lose power at any point.

Really? You thought there should be ZERO power outages for the eternity of time after last year? Have you heard of reality?

I feel for you.

I hate the cold.

Just a bunch of candy ass, butter cups.

So sad

When liberals move in diaper and pacifier sales skyrocket.

They are trying to get Joe with their weather weapons

East Texas area here.

Lit off the tires in the front yard this morning, nice and warm out there.

Might move them closer to the house tonight

Sheesh ... Texans ....

Everything is BIGGER and MORE IMPORTANT when it comes to Texas than it is anywhere else in the US. Time after Time.

Cold? Every winter occurrence in much of the US and their grids seems to hold up fine.

Sheesh, Georgia is a southern state and their power grid seems to hold up just fine when it comes to COLD weather.

Ice storms are something else ... and power failures because of ICE can occur anywhere, but nobody else seems to complain as much about them as Texans do.

I hope Texas does NOT have the problems they had last year and everybody ends up OK but Texas really needs to get it's act together wrt it's electrical grid. It seems to be a bag of problems ... or is that just Texans exaggerating like they do about like with almost everything else?

Stay safe and warm. Oh, and a hint: Winter WILL be back next year too!!

^^^^^^this is absolutely the case. It is our live oak trees and those trees like magnolias with heavy leaves still on the branches. And rotten trees falling, taking down lines.


Not a provider issue this time. It a nature thing now.

Then you get a kerosene heater or heater buddy, hang up blankets in doorways to close off one room and keep that one room warm...simple as that. I had to deal with that as a poor single mom with small children in Illinois twenty years ago ...it's just common sense..if you live in a place with cold winters, prepare!! The trouble isn't so much money as it is lack of common Sense in people

The only thing I can say good about Alabama power is that they keep trees trimmed everywhere in their coverage area very well ..even on my 55 acres here in rural n.e. Alabama. Of course ,they are sloppy and butcher them but at least there are no issues with trees. We don't have ice storms here but we do bad storms and tornadoes. I moved south to avoid the harsh winters

im north of Dallas on the Red river.. it's a thick sheet of ice coating everything here now... and snowing.

i had to drive home down country roads last night around 10 when it really started to get bad and i had to drive about 40mph most of the way.. by the time i made it home i was sliding all over the place and it was becoming impossible to drive in.

It always freezes a little harder up here around the river and lake Ray Roberts though.

It's cold in the Rio Grande Valley of TX. I don't have it as bad as most, as I'm in the southern tip. This area is subtropical.

Freezing Temps the next 2 nights. We grow citrus down here. Freezing Temps damage the trees.

Them people make fun of prepper-types all the time.

When shit like this happens we're there to help the dumbasses out. I say "stop helping" fuck'em, let them freeze and starve. Think they'll start preparing after you saved them? GUESS AGAIN!

My own brother is that type of person. Thinks he's gonna be a marauder when SHTF I told myself silently "Well, I may have to cap my own brother when it all goes down." And fully prepared to do it.

Beer can chicken tonight?
