Things are really real down in Texas rn.
Here's just a sample. Too many to post see link for many more:
Why would anyone have a light fixture turned on while water is dripping over it? I know Texans aren’t used to the cold, but they do understand how electricity works, right?
Why do people have icicles on their ceiling fans?
Is this some sort of Texas room humidification trick that I need to learn about? On hot days you trickle water down your ceiling fan? lol
looks pretty cold.
Apparently these ceiling fans hold up better under ice that the wind turbines. đ
Biden’s Fault.
Every Damn Bit Of It.
Got the worst ice storm I can remember here in Oregon too, but it doesnât look as bad as yours in Texas. I got trees down everywhere, busted my chainsaw. Power has been out for 6 days. Just came back on last night.
Please donât get me started. Those people walking on the hey guaranteed theyâre headed to or from work because their boss told them They were stupid for heeding public emergency system pleas so get in to work or else.
The roads are fine
Thatâs what I heard this AM.
Iâve got two inches in my road right now. Sows pouring down. No plows no sanders. Sirens all over the place
Why do people have icicles on their ceiling fans?

I’m guessing either the household water supply pipes have frozen and burst or an ice dam has formed on their roof.

Sigh.
But mostly I'm like: "I hope y'all are all right and get through this disaster quickly and without any more deaths. May God help you."
>>>Bidenâs Fault.<<<
Apparently you do not understand politics . . . if a conservative is experiencing a booming economy it is the previous democratic administration that is responsible (even if that president said the jobs are lost and are never coming back, like as if he could wave a magic wand or something.)
And if a Democratic administration following a conservative one, tanks the economy - it is the previous president’s fault.
Okay? Got it. You may proceed.
Ooooo. Hot Wax!!
Lived through many ice storms here in the NE. Theyâre the worst. Itâs snowing now. A little dry snow? No problem.

LOL
Hope you don't get hit!......................
We had a big wind storm a while back that took down power for 5 days. Point of failure was a transmission line located in steep, rugged territory where they had to helicopter in crew and gear.
The pipes busted in the apartment above.....................
Another 48 hours like this and things in Texas will become very interesting.
L
It was probably on when the power went out, which killed the heat and caused pipes to burst. (In Texas, many homes are built on slabs, and the plumbing runs through the attic space.)
The fan started up again when the power came back on, and the homeowners probably came home to this scene.
Now, understanding how electricity works, are you going to reach for the wall switch to turn off that ceiling fan?
