I have been e-mailing Ryan Hall and others on youtube to start a Rumble Channel (he does facebook and ticktok) but so far nothing.

Found this brand new channel on Rumble. He seems to go live sometimes including last night. Perhaps if he gets enough interest he will do it more often for big events like today

He is based out of OK city

please subscribe. I try to avoid youtube and perhaps this channel will be an option for “live weather” events.

Heavy winds yesterday in Texas, and storms most of the night.

In Alabama, I set my solar inverter this morning to prepare for tonight's storms. Basically, all solar power coming in today will be used to charge my solar batteries -- any power I consume for now will be pulled from the grid (adding to my power bill). But once the batteries are 100% charged the solar power will be used to power my home (less power pulled from the grid).

That way if the storm tonight knocks out our grid power from the utility company we'll have 24 kWh of stored power to use as backup. Then tomorrow morning I'll put it back in save money mode (don't pull power from grid at all unless battery charge is down to 30%).

The system came through Texas like a kitten last night.

Sounds way to complicated. Suggest you stick with Fossil Fuels.

If I could drill my own natural gas and process it I would. It's way more efficient and dependable than solar. The same for oil.

But gubment policies get in between me and natural gas and oil -- largely by making them too expensive. Solar is the one thing I can manage without the gubment. I've had it for 10 months and so far it's provided 56% of all the power we consume in our two-story all-electric home. I basically no longer worry about natural gas rates getting sky high. And I worry only half as much as I used to about electricity rates.

Besides, it's pretty much set-it-and-forget-it unless you want to every now and then switch between saving money mode (like I normally have it) and prepare for possible power outage mode (like I set it this morning). Once you've done it a few times it's as easy putting your pickup in overdrive mode for long trips with no cargo, then turning off overdrive when pulling a trailer.

You must get a decent amount of sun where you live.

We had it last night - tornado warnings North of KC but no touchdown. Now we’re expecting a bit of snow tomorrow morning.

I do. It's Alabama and I have no shade on my house.

It's not as cheap or efficient as fossil fuel power if the Dims would quit messing it up. But they like messing up what works, and are promising to do more of it.

At least with my wife retired and me retiring soon, I've got a way to limit part of the inflation a lot of retirees face. I'm about to upgrade my solar and replace one of my old used cars with an EV. It'll take 12 years for the entire project to pay for itself -- but energy costs will be a thing of the past. No more worrying how much they're gonna jack up the price of natural gas, or power, or gasoline to force us to pay a tithe to Greta. Plus I'm using a HELOC to pay for most of it (not pulling from retirement investments for solar system or EV).

The greatly-diminished front line passed over us here in NE TX (near junction of TX, LA, & AR boundaries) at 9:10am.

The storms had weakened so much from two hours previous -- that there was no longer any lightning...

I like him but find the sirens and flashing lights in the studio when a warning is released to be annoying.

“front line passed over us here in NE TX (near junction of TX, LA, & AR boundaries) “

Ark-La-Tex. Just gave me a flashback to hearing that being said on the local TV station when I would visit my Grandparents in Shreveport back in the day.
