You should have specified.


No- we are apparently special somehow and havent been hit with outages or rolling blackouts.

In Fort Worth, power at my house has been out since 4am. My mother is there alone with my daughter and I'm stuck out of state, so I'm kind of freaking out.

Anderson, TX - Out around 3am and back on at 12:15pm. In an old pier and beam house, so it got cold enough that several lines froze. Master shower is frozen (hot and cold), master sink hot is frozen, kitchen sink hot is frozen, and washer drain and hot are frozen. Gonna be fun one one everything starts to thaw.

Georgetown TX - periodic blackouts, and has now been off for many hours.

it sucks because the incoming pipes have also frozen, so no water is running into the house.

thank god / coincidence my brother is in Georgetown visiting my elderly dad this week.

Had the boat batteries on trickle charge, got tired of the internet and power going on and off and on and off and on and off.

So, took the Tailgate setup upstairs, just a converter and my boat battery, plugged the wifi and internet into the battery and boom, rock and roll. Working like a champ. Given the draw should last 12 to 24 hours...

Power has gone off 7 or 8 times in Frisco. Off for 1 to 2 hours on for 30 to 40....

Do they put some sort of antifreeze in those implants to keep them from freezing?

Exactly the same for me in Wylie. Buddy lives 10 min away but not on the coop I'm on and hasn't lost power at all. He does have frozen pipes in the master though.

Temple TX.

Made coffee and power went out right as it finished at 7 AM

Finally gave up at 5 this afternoon and went to stay with friends. When we started seeing our breath inside we gave up.
