No power.

[Voidgaze]

Houston and a few surrounding areas got hit hard by a freak storm. 1 million without power in Houston. Rural areas lost power too.

Really it was a freak storm. By 5pm it was so dark I thought it was 8pm.

[eddiehaskell]

Lost power from a storm a few days last week...stay strong brother

[WishIWasJawBrah]

You have your own place these days?

[EvilVoidgaze]

It was raining really hard but luckily there was a little old lady with an umbrella. I quickly stole her umbrella to keep myself nice and dry.

Yeah it sucks, but also exposed the reliance on technology. I have a few books to tide me over then I can charge my phone in a Whataburger or something tomorrow.

It might be a few days tho

Faurk, looking at the map puts the scale in perspective. I wonder how many weeks without power would it take until it becomes the wild west.

Yeah stuff like that makes you realize how reliant we are on electricity and stuff. Have an off-grid survival book on order so I can prep better, srs.

Melvin the type of guy to invite a girl over to watch a movie during a power outage

[BigTimeOperator]

I live north of Houston out by Lake COnroe and we lost power for about 5 hours.

[Krackerjacked]

Whole home generators are pretty common up there right?
We picked up a small dual fuel generator as a just incase given the way the winters have been recently.

Stay safe brah!

Glad you got yours back. An electric feeder tower went down by 99 and West road.

Looks some spots just got it worse than others. Based on the damage there had to be a Tornado or two on the ground.

For sure, we have ours sitting in a shed. If it's not back up by noon we're probably getting it out.

Stay safe breh.

Driving into work this morning and I felt like I was driving in the country. Darkness left and right all around Houston freeway for miles. Unfortunately work had power and here I am.

Buy flashlights now, no one should rely on their stupid phone light lol.

I recommend Sofirn lights, cheap and good quality.

[kusok]

Was expecting “you got no power, hawks! You got no power!”

Up or down?

I’ma give you a world of hurt little man!

You went down on the entire East coast, brah?

Those truly were the days...

Darkness! Darkness everybody! Darkness is spreading!

[Redfish225]

Louisiana crew, I hit the road at about 2:20 this morning and there were quite a few traffic lights out and of course there were idiots blasting straight through without stopping. Tree limbs all over the roads, trash cans, yard items everywhere.

[GooBaaa]

Whole house generator with the transfer switch crew

Ain’t gotta do nothing besides wait the few seconds for the generator to fire
Up

[chalup]

Having no power with no timeline on it being back up is the absolute worst. It always reminds me of how close we are to being back in the dark ages if some freak magnetic storm came and wiped all electronics out.

Generators only last like 18-24 hours yeah?

Mirin. My buddy has that setup running off his natural gas service. That’s my goal setup just need more $$.

Gas ones will pretty much run as long as they want. If there’s a problem with the natural gas service you got other problems to worry about then no power

Propane runs till your tank is out

Sams club sells them actually for like 5k last I checked. Not sure if that includes install though

Being a tradie I just did my own gas piping (helps to have a threader and vice) and my own electrical. Only thing I didn’t do was the pad for the unit to sit on

Most people use that press chit nowadays I’ll never trust that for gas. They are coming out with that press stuff for refrigeration too nowadays smh. People are scared to use a torch or and a little silver solder. I’m wondering what boces is even teaching these new techs lol. They don’t get hands on anymore I know that it’s all VR and controlled environments

You got a rigid vice and threader?

yeah my old man's I don't have a need for it and I don't have a lot of extra storage space and our next move is going to be cross country so it's time for it to go

I actually brought it back from my parents cause I had thought about trying to turn it into the base for a conan's wheel but then never put much thought into it
