Since the early hours of 2-14-21, we have been experiencing rolling blackouts in my area of Central Texas,S.E. of Austin. These blackouts have been occurring at exactly 17 minute intervals for the entire day today. "17" minutes on, then "17" minutes off. There's that darn number again. Pray for us, because we are single digit temps, and 17 minutes of power does not heat anyones home.

Almighty God, we pray that You will provide warmth to those who are cold, lonely and hungry. Please provide our Texas and Oklahoma neighbors warmth and peace in their homes. We pray at the very least, they have coats and blankets to keep the cold away. We know all things are possible with You. You are aware of their needs. We pray that all who need warmth will be rescued from their suffering. Lord, hear our prayer.
:O Prayers to all our Texas pedes.
i saw a post/article about a warning in 17 states concerning same "rolling " blackouts
It has to be a sign that this is intentional and it's because we're at war.
Sorry, there are no coincidences. ZERO
17 states with power outages, 17 minute intervals, all around February 17th...
I work in customer service for a electric provider in Texas and today I received many calls from customer who have been without power for hours, in freezing temperatures. The hardest call was a customer who broke down crying. The thing is that the utilities have to follow ERCOT's directive, and ERCOT requested all the utilities to lower the power generation to protect the electric grid's integrity, while leaving over a million customer without electricity. There are over 10k active outages right now.
My thoughts are with you. I hope this is resolved soon.
Socialism tryouts.
I'm so sorry. I pray your power will be restored soon.
Many prayers being sent. God bless Patriot
I’m not sure I’ve ever experienced temps this low; I can’t imagine. Praying for you all!
Wind chill at -20 in Texas. WTF is going on? This is NOT normal - by ANY stretch of the imagination!
So sorry to hear that. I know you guys in TX are even less equipped to handle snow than we are here in central KY. We're supposed to get 3-6 inches of snow by Tues (on top of the 1/2 inch of ice we got last week) and looking at forecast, we're supposed to get more Wed/Thurs? at any rate, prayers for your and yours to stay safe and warm, hope power is restored very soon.
There was a 130-car pile up on I-35W from theblack ice on the roads in Fort Worth, TX on 2/10/21. 2 semi trucks collided with the 2nd semi running up the back of the semi in front of it like a ski ramp! 6 dead and dozens badly injured. Someone captured the whole thing on video from the other side of the highway. Insane shit!
Hopefully it will stay on for the rest of the night at least. Praying for you, bundle up, if you have a fireplace through some wood in there and light it up!!
Alabama is supposed to be 19 tonight, and if you live down here in the south (and I mean the southern part of the south) 19 degrees is flipping cold! Even my pups this evening are like hurry up mom let us in, done doing our business, in like less than 2 minutes, lol. They usually like to wander around the yard inspecting every corner after dark to make sure no critters are trying to come into their domain. Yeah tonight they are like it's so cold out here there isn't a damn thing out here but our freezing tushes! Right now here it's 32 degrees, feel like temp is 25, with a 10% chance of snow. Well hell if mother nature is gonna give us this kind of cold at least give us a little dusting of snow with it, so we can ooh & aah over it, lol. I know these temps are nothing to some of you that get below freezing temps, but to southeners it's flipping cold!
And God, protect our Central/ South Texas Cattle & Livestock, too, in addition to folks without heat.
Spent much of my life in Wisconsin, was an Arctic Paratrooper in Alaska for 3 years, we spent most of the winters out in the field for FTX's. If you have any specific questions, DM me. Good luck, we're praying for you.
Get get a generator
Hmm... An assault in us, maybe? Mirror if that is, Pats in control, so some sort of operation, maybe? What sort of infrastructure or industries are in A.E. Texas? Any connections to the Cabal down there?
Edit:
And this is why I live in Florida. No crazy sub freezing winter ice/snow storms. I can handle hot weather and hurricanes, but screw snow and frigid temps.
17 is the number of victory according to some biblical religious Christian faith thingee i came across today.
Maybe it's a sign!
Beautiful
Thank You All Patriots. We'll get through this with faith! Love You guys!
I'm southeast of Houston and I never lost my power... Weird...
Prayers sent, Pede. That was a super cold blast y'all received. I hope conditions improve quickly.
I bought a generator this summer after 4 outages in a week from wind. Didn't use it once until this weekend, when we got 1/2" of ice on top of 1/2" of sleet. I have enough branches in the yard to heat next year, including 1 that landed on my 85 E30...splattt.
I'm going liberal on this, It all Bidens Fault! He could have stopped this, he's "president" after all...
Amen! Bundle up, if you cook with gas drink some warm drinks.
Do people have wood burning stoves in their home? Or not generally?
Not in Houston.... Some years we don't even go below freezing in our temps.... Lived here 56 years... This is the 2nd time I've experienced this kind of cold....
Nope. Lots of us don't even have fireplaces either. In apts, only the upper floors even have the option of fireplaces.
