My sister lives in Rockwall and she’s been without power since Sunday with no service expected until Friday. I’m in Dallas and thought I made it through unscathed. Power and inet have been stable with gas furnaces doing their best. However today at about 430pm a water pipe burst in an exterior wall. I shut off the water, found the break, cut a hole in the wall all set to repair. I get to home depot and they closed early! Closing a hardware store early during a major weather event seems wrong to me. I called a couple plumbers but they’re booked for weeks (not surprising)
