Well, my mother in law's power was restored earlier for 4 hours and then went out again. My wife's niece and her husband's power has been restored. My sister in law is still without power. And we are still without power. And this morning we all have no running water. Some restaurants and fast food chains are still closed. Grocery stores and Walmart is open but you have a long line of people waiting to get in.
That sucks Bartek.

It sucks that we live in a country that is unprepared for this stuff even though it happens somewhere every year. It sounds like on the news it is pretty bad over by Texas and such. Somethings they are talking about sounds like it should be in like Russia or something not the United States. To me power goes out and we should be on top of it in a few hours not days. Same with the water. Sucks that you guys have to go through that.

No. According to my uncle, who works for Centerpoint Energy, no power lines or transformers were damaged in the Houston area by the winter weather. More energy is being used than what the power plants can put out. So instead of increasing power output, which would cost ERCOT money, they flip the switch on a couple million residents and businesses to conserve that power. All about them keeping their profits. My uncle told me that lawsuits against ERCOT are already starting to get filed.

That's fucking unreal but also grossly believable.
