I'm about an hour South of you and just got power back on after about 40 hours. Pipes all froze. Thawed out briefly to flood everything. It's pretty freaking bad in my area.
My brother just had a pipe burst. I’m waiting a couple of days before turning the water back on. Still have cast iron pipes. My city just sent out a boil drinking water alert because pressure has dropped below safe levels.
0ncor service map for those curious as I was. We live 30 minutes outside Austin and our power hasn't even flickered. We have been lucky so far.

Thanks. That helped me understand.

You just jinxed Austin.
