heyyyy i just spent a week with power off, water out, in a boil notice, in the coldest temperatures i've ever been in
@Motodrachen what does this even mean, like heck there's people that have died because of the state's unpreparedness and they didn't deserve that, regardless of being strong or not
i'm definitely ready to get out the guillotines, actually
@Motodrachen oh hey that's okay, my sense of humor is totally nonexistent rn and yeah. sleep's been nonexistent this week
winter hell
@Motodrachen oh this is completely true. most of us have experienced a night or 2 when it was in the 20s. but it was single digits, then we had an ice storm, then a snow storm, and another ice storm. power lines and branches came down, everyone was stuck. including natural gas deliveries for electricity
people kept asking me if the streets were gonna get plowed and i'm like haha you think texas has plows??? we got rid of sanding trucks apparently. and we saw this storm coming
re: winter hell
@astra I've been following this whole thing. There's Fae Shit involved.
It went from bad to Worse to Teetering on the whole damn grid going down. I was worried Sick, because I've survived years of new england winters in a Treehouse I built.
Yanno, For Fun, as a young twentysomething. And then imagined a whole State trying that for a week outta the blue.
