It isn’t working for shit. Not enough generation capacity. I’m sitting here in the Houston area without power like hundreds of thousands. Not rolling blackouts. Completely out. Might get power back tomorrow. Pool pipes and well head will likely freeze and break. I think I was able to drain all of the water from the house pipes to prevent those from freezing. Fingers crossed.
And the website of our local power distributor isn’t working.
I’m on a well. I also don’t have a home generator. No power means no water. It also means I can’t circulate my pool water to prevent it from freezing. We can’t drain our pools in the South, like here in Houston at least, like you folks up North. I did have the water running mostly everywhere before the power went out. I finished dumping everything else like the line to the ice maker this morning. Fingers crossed that the house pipes will be okay as they should be empty. My well head and above ground pool pipes are another problem. I do have my well head wrapped as well as I can with insulation, trash bag, furniture blanket, and another trash bag.
Beyond that I do have a small generator and am able to make coffee and cook with a toaster oven. I’d rather not be outside trying to grill. My grill is on the dark north side of the house and being a kamado it’s impossible to move. I also have a natural gas fireplace so we’re huddled around it.

Can u get the generator close enough to the well to attach one of those big metal lamp lights to keep well head warm?
