I lost power twice for total of like 6hrs. Judging from all of the fallen limbs on my road I'm shocked it wasn't worse. Few coworkers have been without since Tuesday.

Sleeping. It's too miserable to stay awake. I had my nintendo switch and laptop with a little bit of battery yesterday but they're dead now. I've been in my car charging my phone up to like ~25% before coming back inside. I didn't even have phone service until last night, which was extremely poor. It seems okay right now though.

good thing the Texas power grid is free from all that pesky government regulation that gets in the way of profit. you should be thankful that the handful of rich guys who own all of the power plants are making a fuck ton of money right now. be happy that your suffering allows them to reap massive profits

I hope something good happens to you today

It's pretty bad in my area. A tree fell down and knocked over a power line.

I'm moving from the Bay to Louisiana. Right now I'm in a holiday inn waiting for the roads to clear.

Are you able to rent a room?

I think it's too late, the power company said power is restored but it's not yet so we assume it'll be done soon.

The power company can't even tell when the power is running?

Ah well that's good. I know in states where they don't routinely have winter weather it can shut down entire cities for a while

Hope you get it on soon. Luckily we all went to work today to make up for missing most of the week.

I got a text at 10am saying my power was off,30min before I left work they had it on. So I would of spent most of my day off with no power.

Is it better to go hang out in a local business? Like I'd rather chill out at Starbucks all day than just sit around in the cold if it's an option

I only lost power for a period of time while I was sleeping the night before last, so at least I have that going for me.

I'm just bundling up plus there was a lot of work to be done, a bunch of tree branches fell off so the day was spent gathering them and putting them in the front yard.

The good news is that there's a utility truck outside right now, but how long it'll take to reach a resolution the world may never know.

time to crank up the heater. need heat.

back in 2007. a big tree fell onto the lines supplying the home with electricity. it took almost a week for power to return. all i cared most at the time was getting back to the dog.

About ~44 hours. Idk how cold it was inside because it did warm up yesterday outside barely but probably around 50 degrees inside?

I did the same move. I don't regret it, gave me a different perspective. All the stereotypes are real.

Oh shit word? This is my 2nd time back to Louisiana. I'm going to be out in the Shreveport area last time I was in Monroe.

I'm just nervous because all the jobs are in the Bay. I kind of made it my second home and idk if I'll end up back out the Bay or not. Though at the same time, I do enjoy the much chiller/simpler lifestyle. How long you been down in Louisiana?
