Power outage slide...

Texas is slowly upping their power generation game. Nowhere near fully recovered, but I’ve been watching their web site and they seem to have upped their load by about 4000 MW this afternoon. Perhaps things are thawing out.

I hope every one managed to get through ok. This could have caused many deaths.

Meyer...What they are going through is terrible.

Texas—and other states— will have billions (I am sure) of dollars of repair to replace broken water pipes in appartments and homes and to repair all the water damage. They will also have to deal with a bunch of pissed people who want to blame the government for everything.

Sad!

It will go down to 1F tonight here, but people at least expect that to happen in KC several times each winter.

Warming up, but not quite thawing out yet. My niece, a student in Austin, lost heat but was able to move into an apartment with friends nearby. Unfortunately, there have been so many burst pipes in Austin that the authorities have decided to shut down the water system. Now five young women are sharing a toilet that they can't flush. They still have power so they're trying to melt snow to be able to flush the toilet. She can't drive home to Houston and her father can't rescue her because the roads are shut down due to black ice and the resulting wreckage.

This storm will have repercussions for months and months.

Biden's fault!
