This is a once in 20 year event (maybe 50 years). It's times like this that remind me of the Boy Scout motto - be prepared. We are way too complacent as a society these days, always depending on someone else to take care of us when there are problems.

I wonder when their going to declare an emergency and start doing something about this mess, this is going to run into the billions to fix all this crap. It’s a statewide problem and I hate to think about how many businesses this is going to finish off.

Largest forced blackout in US history...................and Oncor saying 4 million without power........NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. that's just customers. In actuality that's about 13- 18 million people without power.

There wont be an insurance company left to write a new policy in TX after this is all said and done or the price will double.

There's a lot to that!

Most of the problem areas were never built or designed for those temps or power failures.

Different standards.

Maybe some revision may occur?

Once upon a time.... and they lived happily ever after... rofl

In less than a week of a little adverse weather and everybody's world is falling apart. If the SHTF really happens, the mental health hotline would be knocked off the system with too many phone calls.

a pandemic and a mass disaster power outages all around a election. Once in a lifetime events , back to back. We know they manipulate the weather and have said so since the 1930s. All conspiracy theory of course. roflmao

The way I look at it, people pay for a service (electric) and are cut off, for hours or days in frigid cold, have a right to complain and bitch!!
Knock on wood, I haven’t lost power yet. The last ice/snow storm we had last month, I was out of power for 3 days. Not fun!!

Just think of the broken pipes and water damage. I bet there will be hundreds of thousands of claims. This means our homeowner's rates will go up.

Everyone just calm down, this is just Texas having a negative reaction to all of the Yankees and Californians moving in. Kind of link Beer and Tequila getting together at a party. I just don't sit too well.

I've been watching Florida real estate for about 10 years. We've bid on two forecloses (in auction) there that were a steal, but missed both. In the last 4-6 weeks something has changed drastically. I was counting yesterday and about 5 out of 7 homes you look at are contingent or pending. I think a lot of it is New Yorkers fleeing the city. Texas is getting the Californians and Florida is getting the New Yorkers.

Except all the yanks are prepared and all the texans are the ones stuck holding their junk in the cold....yanks been there done that. Ever read about Washington’s army, most of them they survived the winter without shoes, food, or proper clothes. Some tough critters back in the day. We have gotten soft.
