How quickly the lessons of the last Texas blackout are forgotten. During that blackout not only was there no electricity but also no water and no sewage treatment. Frozen and refrigerated food in stores spoiled and hospitals functioned only on emergency power. Pity the fools driving EVs. Imagine that devastation in large areas of the country.
I pay my State Farm bill monthly for my vehicles.
Payment coupon goes to DALLAS.
When that Texas blackout hit-—NOTHING was getting processed.
I GOT LATE NOTICES....THEY HAD THE CHECK-—BUT computer sent late notice. I have to send a 2nd check.
First check finally cleared & got applied. 3 months later-—
REPEAT of above. Had to send a 2nd check for ‘missed payment’.
ALL 4 finally cleared. I AM ON SS & I do NOT have that kind of extra $$$ around.
NOW—I send the payment directly to my agent-—37 miles away.
EVERY MONTH. HE UNDERSTANDS.
