It's too bad we can't hear from more Texans on this, right now. [edit: I am Texan; 28% of my city was still without power or water just earlier today]

- eth0up 6y agoNot a Texan, but stuck in Fort Worth and Dallas since Sunday, making tomorrow the sixth day in a stationary truck. I think it was Tuesday that the truckstop was without power along with traffic lights, but only for 12 hours, in Burleson (off i35W) whereafter no further outages were observed. I finally unloaded today (7 miles north) where the warehouse was without power while a construction crew repaired a broken pipe and the ensuing damage. Many backroads are iced, warehouse lots are skating rinks, but highways have one or two drivable lanes. I'm parked outside a shipper in Irvin which was unattended today but seems powered. Many places seem yet to resume operation. Of course, this is through the lense of a single trucker hauling a 53' trailer which limits where I can go and most notably, park. I'm going fucking bonkers though, and all without a cent of pay. Obviously many others are enduring worse.
- duxup 6y agoI hope they get power soon, but is a Texan more likely to voice accurate information about their power grid than anyone else? It's probably not that many of them who know it well.
