I'm surprised power wasn't cut off sooner. The utility companies now have to pay a ridiculous $8/kWh for wholesale power rather than the normal $0.04-$0.08/kWh!
Years ago, before I knew NPR was a liberal mind trap I remember hearing a story about a Texan who went from ranching cattle to working on the windmills. I feel really sorry for him. The guy's not going to have a job after this bullshit.
Get some foil and large pole. See if that Tesla tower is working yet.
Ice Storm , whatta expect ? Just be sure to grab YOUR keys and not Billy Bob's ??
The lights just flickered up in Kansas. Been snowin' all day. We're getting Upper Plains Dakotas weather down in the Lower Plains.

That guy is going to be busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
~50% of the wind mills are froze up or broke. More moisture than usual + low temps are playing hell.
Stay warm and stay safe.
NC has been out the past two days for dome people. Mine went out for about 8 hours.
