It just takes a strong breeze to knock out the power in Texas.
Not even a strong one - you give ERCOT too much credit.
(Utility pole snapped, a block away from me, by a tree).
A. You are not wrong.
B. All the damn trees knocking out power lines everywhere. Beryl just said fuck you to all the cedars and live oaks.
Why not put them in the ground
Cheap. Easy. Good.
Pick two.
Cheap and good please
Weird they fucked up a pretty big detail that Beryl had grown back into a Cat 1 by the time it hit the Texas coast.
Came here to say this. Still without power…not that a TS wouldn’t do that, but that was a long fucking night and it’s hot and I am tired so here I am, internets. Sorry.
I’m stuck without power too.
Let’s hope they get both of ours back on before the height of the heat today.
Best of luck to you!!
While innocents dying is tragic, I really can’t feel very sorry for anyone who sticks it out in disaster-prone areas. Especially when said disasters are exacerbated by their idiotic political choices in said states. I’m reminded of one lady who rebuilt her home in Florida 3 goddamn times after subsequent hurricanes. Like dude, fucking move inland. If you insist on staying in a Red, hick State, Tennessee has elevation on its side at least.
