Dont you have a Tesla? Are the charging stations still working?They've been turning different ones off and on for the past few days. Schertz is the closest one that's turned on right now. Probably going to start heading in that direction soon. I'm glad I ordered it when I did and got the free supercharging perk just a few months before they stopped offering it. --- ...

LOL, so I started to head out. I drove forward a few feet and my car was freaking out and displaying a STOP message like I was about to hit something.
Got out and looked at the front of the car and a solid sheet of ice was covering the sensors. Had to spend some time breaking that ice up. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Pipe burst in my exterior garage wall this morning on a line to a hose spigot even though I had it dripping for three days. At least it was the furthest pipe from the inside of the house. Had to shut the water off at the street and it sounds like it will probably be a week before it can be repaired. Thankfully my power is still on.

so i haven't checked the rest of the topic to see if this has been suggested but if you think you're at risk for pipes bursting leave water running. like leave a few faucets dripping. okay just saw the post where they said that water is literally running out. uh, shit. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Our power was off for 2 days but finally came back.
It was horrible. Especially for my grandparents. I'd be careful about car heat, apparently some died from carbon monoxide doing that. Though maybe there's a way to avoid that idk. Be safe, I'm currently in a hospital so warm enough, but the weather is making it difficult to transfer me to another, as well as lack of beds. --- Manliness transcends both space, and time. ...

I'm getting settled in for the night and I can see my breathI had to stay in my car for about 4 hours until I got a ride out. Stay safe,layer up and try to have everything you'll need right beside so you dont have to get out or move around much.
