If Texas ever had power there wouldn't be 20,000 troops in D.C.
I know someone in the Dallas area who's been without electricity since 2 am and without water since the time they woke up this am (they don't know whether water system is down or if their own pipes are frozen).
No one cares about other peoples problems. Everyone is busy getting rich, everyone is winning!
The important things in our country are, the stock market going to the moon, bitcoin going to the moon, home prices breaking records, ammo prices going to the moon, commodities are in a super cycle, platinum and palladium heading for record highs, electricity is skyrocketing, oil and gasoline prices are climbing, food prices climbing, everyone is getting free money with more on the way. This is the best economy ever! Cities are starting to open up and everyone will be spending like drunken sailors. Place your bets people, you can only win! Up up and away!

A friend of mine in Texas emailed me that Austin has 6" of snow, but he has been known to fib. WTF, that's more snow than I have here in Montana. Every time I hear about power outages, I'm thankful I'm off grid.
sounds like planned demolition!
Being off grid has its advantages!
This is dollar positive, even with an iced over green new deal... or no wind at all.
Just checked and I measured at least five inches of snow in western Travis county, so some parts of Travis county could have gotten more.
Heard from an acquaintance that shit is totally jacked in TX. No power, gas stations not working, almost no such thing as kerosene and besides no one has kerosene heaters. No one has Propane heaters either. I told him to relax a bit and use the propane grills as heaters with the windows gaped for air. He just told me I was an idiot because they can only be used outdoors. I just deleted him, Kinda hope it gets cold where he is.
Aren't those Coleman camp light running off propane?
Think they use Coleman kerosene. Or kerosene of whatever brand. Expensive stuff burns real clean tho.
Propane is gas grills that can heat a buttload of area. Used to do that with my garage, 1 medium grill heated kept me at 68 at 20 degrees. Never needed in the house yet.
Remember China is now in control of the power grid. Something that is never mentioned.
Now would be a good time to get a Mr.buddy and a few bottles of propane - for anyone not in that area.
I have been buying solar lights here and there. I recently got some 4x 4 outdoor lights with a motion detector. I set them in the window during the day and use them as night lights in the kitchen or bathroom. FYI - we don’t get much sun for days at a time and they still charge on cloudy days.

These are some of the other lights I have got. Some are battery operated and or electric chargeable, some all 3!

so does living in an RV with a 7 KW generator... gotta keep the fuel take level high tho; generator draws from same 75ga unleaded tank as RV's motor, but generator automatically shuts off if tank hits 25%, so that u don't suck it down to zero & be stranded! :cool:
BTW, do gas stations usu have a big generator somewhere, allowing their staying open selling gas during power outages? :(??
Officially in the Austin area the total snow was 6.4" and some areas got as much as 8". Tomorrow night another 0.1-0.25 of ice and 3" more of snow predicted. Low temperature forecast tonight for Austin metro is 5* (4th lowest on record) with a wind chill warning in effect at -10* (never had a wind chill warning in central Texas). There will be at least a week of subfreezing conditions in central Texas before thawing out on Friday. I'm thinking my power is still on because I'm located in the vicinity of a .gov facility that cannot sustain a power outage or freeze damage (would actually be a huge disaster if that facility lost power so I'm certain it's being protected from any power outage), at least so far it's been uninterrupted.
Austin Energy has 41% of customers without electricity currently, (198,449) and overall in Texas 38% are without electricity. Wow.
that's what i figured... the size generator they'd need would be so expensive for owner, & given no law requiring, nuff said!
so many ppl will be in a world of hurt in any sustained outage if no food/meds, car's tank down to fumes, & many/all of their necessary biz's closed anyways due to the same outage!
For some reason “Dark Winter” keeps coming to mind
I guess we were warned!
It is suppose to be colder in Texass tonight than it is at the Canada Montana border!
The ice age farmer just brought up the fact that 40% of the wheat was in the path of the storm .

The day before yesterday the temperature where I live was -35F when I'd checked it in the morning before daylight. Yesterday it was -25F and didn't get above zero in the daytime with a fifteen mile an hour wind. It's only -12F this morning so things are looking up.:)
I exchanged emails with a friend that lives near Mountain Home, Texas yesterday evening and she said the ice was several inches thick on a pond the cattle on her place water out of. She has some waterers for horses that are froze up too and the power had been off for thirteen hours. She said they were due for another storm before a warm up Friday. She was trying to keep the pipes in her house from freezing.
What do you do with your livestock when it gets so cold?Quote:

Two solar systems here. I generally run the Honda EU2000 generator three hours on Eco mode every evening. Cost is 5 gallons of gas every 3 weeks. All I am doing with the power is putting 8 amps into each of the solar system batteries.
The only real load I put on the generator is around 1,500 watts into a halogen oven/air fryer when I have something to cook. The refrigerator is lp gas.
Im sorry, but my sympathies for this faggottry have run dry. I used to live in texas , so im not in any way anti tx. That said HOW MANY TIMES TO PEOPLE HAVE TO BE TOLD TO STOP PHECKING TRUSTING GOVERNMENT OR OTHER PEOPLE FOR THEIR SAFETY AND WELL BEING?? Start phecking prepping and getting ready for stuff like this??? No one gives a damn wether or not you live or die, NO ONE is coming to save you. Save yourself and your family by prepping.
McCanney tells about the mistakes of textbook engineers, who took a good idea and destroyed it. Small wind turbines work great as they can spin really fast and generate a lot of power. But they don't scale up, they are limited in size as the torsion on the larger blades makes them destroy themselves as the speed ramps up.
The three blade wind turbines waste most of the wind as 80 to 90 percent passes right through without providing any energy. His wing generator solves that problem.
Entire city of Abilene, Texas (population ~125k) loses water supply -

Those huge windmills put huge amounts of electromagnetic frequencies. I am positive they are doing a number on anyone with in 10 miles.
We know know the true cause of the troubles in Texas

Texas's Day Of Reckoning Is Why Everyone Should Be A Prepper: Imagine A $10,000 To $17,000 Electric Bill While Scraping Snow Off Your Walls Just To Have Drinking Water
https://allnewspipeline.com/Everyone..._A_Prepper.php
Susan Duclos - All News PipeLine
Empty store shelves, water shortages, freezing weather with no electricity, and as Texas officials work to get the electric grid back, electric bills have surged between $10,000 and $17,000 and people are having to scrape ice off their walls to boil for clean water.
While individual residents have no control over the actual electric grid itself, nor the new green energy (wind turbines) utterly failing, and while we would never "victim blame," we can and will use this as an example of why people need to prepare, prepare, and prepare for every eventuality they are capable of preparing for.
It doesn't have to be the end of civilization, or a doomsday scenario, or a terrorist attack or any other of the dozen possibilities that could require people to survive in the most dire of conditions.
With nothing more than a weather event knocking out overtaxed electrical grids and the supposed "clean energy" systems which proved to be huge failures, we see a real life, present day example of why everyone needs to become a prepper.
SPIKING ELECTRIC BILLS
NBC News headlines "As Texas deep freeze subsides, some households now face electricity bills as high as $10,000," while Daily Mail claims that number if far higher, and some are seeing their electric bills surge to $17,000.
Texans have seen electric bills surge as high as $17,000 after two powerful storms knocked out power and caused a 300-fold surge in demand - as 14million people struggle to get clean water in a 'health catastrophe'.
While most Texans are on a fixed rate plan on which they pay the same monthly amount throughout the duration of their contract, some are on a variable or indexed plan which sees rates vary based on the market.
One of these customers, Ty Williams, told WFAA-TV that his combined electric bill last month for his home, guest house, and office was $660.
As of this month, he owes more than $17,000. ‘How in the world can anyone pay that?’ Williams asked.
As demand rises, so does the rate at which consumers are billed, which is causing these insane fluctuations in prices skyrocketing.
A generator or two, along with some space heaters, and even gas for the generators that are not solar, would cost far less, and quite literally pay for themselves in savings in far less than a month.
That would allow consumers to shut down all electricity in their homes and use their generators until these spikes in electricity bills taper off, because the last things these poor people suffering through this brutal and deadly winter, need, is higher utility bills.
Many of them actually have to fix up their homes from the extreme damage seen from the massive amounts of snow.
NO CLEAN WATER
Another consequence of these storms that have hammered Texas is a problem with clean drinking water.
That is explained via the Daily Mail piece:
Meanwhile, temperatures as low as -2F have burst many of the state's water pipes, leaving residents forced to scrape snow off the walls to boil to make it safe for cooking and drinking.
Again, water systems, filtration systems and just a large supply of water, whether in 50 gallon drums or cases upon cases of bottle water, would have made it far healthier, cleaner and provide less chance of causing bacterial disease from contaminated water.
Not to mention, those still without power, who use an electric stove, still cannot boil the water without some type of survival prepping.
STORE SHELVES FOR PERSIHSABLES EMPTY
In other reports, we see from Fox News, that "photos taken at a Walmart outside San Antonio show rows of empty refrigerated and frozen shelves, where perishable food would normally appear....."
While it is seriously too late for those suffering from food and water shortages, as well as those still without electricity, there is still nearly a month of winter left and as Texas proves, even where is most unlikely, this type of state emergency can, and does happen.
It isn't only stores that have had to empty their perishables, but homes without electric would have lost a significant amount of foods in their refrigerators and freezers, leaving them dependent on food banks, local food giveaways or neighbors that were better prepared to begin with.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE A PREPPER
ANP does have a still/back in stock page (which needs updating) for prepping supplies and other items readers felt were important, so below are only the items that would have been so helpful, and lifesaving, in Texas.
We encourage all readers to share links to places that sell the items listed for less cost than the ones listed below, and to share other ideas, tips, links and videos to help others
Hopefully others will learn the painful lesson Texas has taught us and prepare like their lives depended on it, because with dozens of deaths just from this one storm, and more expected, their lives very well may depend on it in the future.
The entirety of Llano county, Texas has been completely out of gasoline and diesel fuel for a couple of days.
The ENTIRE county per a Sheriff's deputy. The population of Llano county is over 20,000. There are probably other counties experiencing the same thing.
