LOL got power back and then internet was down for a week. Love those poppin' crests!

8 days and a few hours in - we have power! I will however continue to keep my fingers crossed that they sort out your power issue --- maybe whatever they broke will be replaced with something more reliable. (wishful thinking???)

.... Actually most of Texas' house-heating power comes from natural gas- and because they refused to weatherize. Upgrading costs $$ and the companies were not "required" to weatherize, and are not under federal regulations in Texas - it was just a 'friendly suggestion' they could ignore...

LOL, nope, it just means additional glare from the sun hitting the wet/icy/snow covered ground and an unobstructed view of the never-ending job ahead. Thank you for what you do!!!

Thank you! We're on day 4 without power after our 4 days of ice storm and I know the conditions are absolutely miserable. 300,000 without power, 4500 feeder lines down, 200 miles of transmission lines needing repair and 7 substations knocked out. Finally the warmer temperatures have arrived...
