Some parts of Austin have been out for 13+ hours now. We're really lucky because friends both north and south of us are down but we've been fine.

My power has been out since 2 AM this morning. Harris county. This sucks, but my nipples have the ability to cut diamonds now, so that's nice.

I would suggest you guys monitor the temperatures anywhere there are water lines.
You should really at least start your faucets dripping. Frozen pipes suck. Burst Pipes suck ever worse. If you do have power use a hair dryer. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan. Currently playing: Flight Simulator X.~PC ...

What TC said. But often you won't know a pipe froze until things warm up. I know that sounds obvious but you can half your water running, and when everything finally gets up to like 40 you realize something somewhere burst. You said something about symptoms...Not really a symptom but something I've noticed. If you are really close, if you run the hot water, you can hear or see the volume of water increase as your pipes expand. At least with Copper. Side note, just in life. It's always good to have some Sharkbites and basic plumbing shit around. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.

I've gotten emails from my complex saying the power is down and shitYeah, I've never seen these kinds of conditions. I'm debating just sleeping in my car at this Supercharger, but I'd rather be at home as much as possible. I need to get a 12V power inverter so I can work from my car without worrying about battery life. If I can find one of those tomorrow, then I can do pretty well just being in my car. --- ...

Been without power for 24 hours now. Rolling blackouts didn't really go into affect for me. Happened about 2 times in the wee hours of the morning on Monday then it was just gone. Guess my pipes are frozen too because we've been without water for a good 12+ hours.
I can put up with no power but it's pretty hard without running water. Really bored rn though. Can't sleep either because I've been doing that too much. 40% charge left on phone and then I'm out of options. No back up batteries left. --- NNID: GuerillaGorilla 3DS FC: Tony 0748-1993-0631 ...

Also, when you say a 12V Inverter, are you talking 12 to 120 to run a laptop or something? Because it is very difficult to find a pure sine wave inverter in stores. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.
