Simple27 (OP) User ID: 78192691 United States 02/17/2021 10:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Glad your dental work went good, Sim. I've had a LOT done, and would almost rather cut off a digit than go to the dentist. Well, almost... Quoting: justanothergranny Thanks Joinca for all the vids and reports. I really appreciate the info you bring! Will be praying for your decisions, WA! That big of a move is daunting. God will open the right doors... Glad you finally got some snow, Kickin. Got a few more inches than me. I could handle the ice & snow & cold, but preferably NOT with a loss of power! Millions of folks around the state had it a lot worse than me. I've been prepping for emergencies for 20 years. Still have some fine tuning to do, but we stayed fairly warm, had food & water, and were able to do ok. And could offer help to neighbors in need. And yes, AC, will be looking for a couple of old-style propane heaters. The Heater Buddy goes through propane way too fast to be practical. And while it was warmer than nothing, the old heaters were way better. Wish I'd kept some of the ones we used to have. Good advice!!! Heading to bed now. Amazing how stressful the last few days have been!!! Hope we don't wake up at 2 with another power loss. Peace, love & hugs from frozen W TX! ~*Ride the Wave*~ |

Arnie User ID: 78321524 United States 02/18/2021 07:36 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | And to add - you got snow this time around too, right Arnie? Think I read that... Quoting: justanothergranny Didn't want to leave you out!!! Thank you Granny, yes about 6" snow and 3-foot drifts here and there. Now the driveway is blocked by a snow plow that went by; this is a job for the wonderful son I have. I can usually handle the snow, with a snow blower that starts electrically. But this is a heavy wet mess at the end of the driveway and no way can I do it....so I'm blocked in for now. You are a very resourceful lady and a blessing to your family. WhiteAngel Yes, the Lord will direct your steps in this decision to move; it is a big decision, and moving is such a pain in the ass but also exciting and full of promise. God bless you in this.

KickinIt User ID: 74785546 United States 02/18/2021 09:14 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Been thinking about the rolling blackouts in Texas. Quoting: WhiteAngel I just don't understand why this is happening. During the summer, huge amounts of electricity is used to power a-c units. So where did all the electricity go? Been bugging me since this morning when I read about it. Basically the same number of homes that use cooling air in the summer are now using that for the winter. Bugging me. Like this is a CT and I don't know that anyone is questioning this weirdness Still have a lot of catching up to do, so sorry if someone has addressed this. according to news reports, Gov Abbott over the last few years has moved the state to "green" energy with wind turbines and solar panel farms. So much so that as much as 70% of the state's power is now dependent on those 2 types of generation. In summer, there is huge demand, but they continue to generate power. When these storms hit, the solar panels were buried with snow, which equals no energy produced. And the ice and freezing rain and frigid temps literally froze up the wind turbines. Even broke a lot of them. So, no energy produced. At the same time the demand for power was massive and fairly sudden. The grid couldn't keep up, and it literally started crashing the power plants. The anger around the state is growing by the hour. I can almost bet there will be some changes to the grand plan, or heads will roll! Texas opted to have their own independent grid with no energy sharing w/other states because they wanted to avoid federal regulation. The wind turbine shutdown only accounted for a fraction of the energy lost (under 15% from what I've read). So, no energy sharing and a once in a decade winter storm that the state is unprepared for in multiple ways. It was a disaster just waiting to happen,all things considered. I'm sure some heads will roll, and some thing will change. |
