Seriously? We are famous for blondes in Texas, lol. Checking in to see how other FReepers are doing. I’ve had three rolling blackouts near Waco since 6:30 this morning. Not too bad, they only keep it off for 15 minutes. The bad news is the pipes on one side of my house are frozen and I took all reasonable precautions. Sigh.....On the bright side I do still have water in the kitchen and spare bath.
Sadly, I am serious. Here’s one that was just tweeted.
“Rolling blackouts in Texas....take away my heat and I’m gonna be P.O.ed! You can’t do that on the coldest day ever!”
Everytime I check this thread to see the same, the power seems to go off.
I am burning rubbing alcohol in a gel fuel fireplace, and have my gas oven (big no no, yeah, )on to try to keep it above 53 degrees in my house. I am losing that battle. The downside of pier and beam from the late 40's, I guess.
I've closed off some rooms, but may need to close off more.
