Texas has seen no help from fema or red cross. Not one fucking ounce of help. We are Freezing, We have No Water, No Power, No Internet. Grocery Stores are empty, cant find anything.

Now This Story Comes Out On Our Local Fake News.... https://abc13.com/weather/fema-sending-60-generators-to-texas-amid-power-outages-/10349070/... But if you read story it seems like they are more worried about vaccine spots. This is now going on 5 days and they are talking of sending food and water and supplies and Generators... Wtf where the hell has all this shit been... Still Have Not Seen Anything.

The last time it snowed in my area, was back in 2017. Before that, I was still in elementary school. I'm 34 now.

Its super rare that this part of Texas gets snow, especially 2 times within a week.

Not once have I ever needed a generator since living here, and now i'm being told I should have "prepared".

Its like telling someone who lives in a desert to bring a snow plow.

No it's like telling someone who lives in a desert to get a generator, because power ain't 100% reliable anywhere.

This has me already thinking ahead to spring. What if we had a really nasty storm or a tornado barrel through my neighborhood?

I already have lots of non-perishables and supplies at home. When the dust settles I'll look into getting my own generator, solar power USB chargers, and a few other things.

I believe the panhandle is on a separate power grid from the rest of the state.

You realize most people who are in real trouble because of this are single moms who live in cities, many of them in apartment buildings. Where the fuck are they going to keep a generator?

Quit being a fucking retard.

If you're a single mom your poor decision chain started long ago.

So just let them and their kids freeze to death? If they cry and ask for help that means everyone in Texas is crying and asking for help?

The fucking Texas hating shills have shown their true colors on this.

Hijacking this just to say, be mad at single moms, but I know of several old people who died in a rural town in a red af state during a blizzard in a similar situation several years ago. But they're old, so fuck them right?

I have no idea, probably, so we should just let them freeze to death?

Tell me where some single mom who lives in an apartment is going to keep a generator, then tell me what that has to do with welfare, then I'll answer your question.

Stop saying here, like you aren't a liberal pussy bitch with half a brain living in Minnesota. It hasn't even snowed in San Antonio in over 30 years, much less snow storm conditions. And if you live an apartment with a central water shutoff, good fucking luck with getting it turned off. Are you even old enough to be on the internet?

I’m sorry it’s rough for you, but I have never been mugged, robbed, jumped, targeted in any way. Still carry a gun every day. Also generators are good for any power outages. Not just snow. Don’t count on any one saving you from anything. Side note we should probably all buy snow plows. The radical left has been screaming global warming for thirty years so we can probably safely assume we are slipping into another ice age.

Not in my area.

I live in central Texas. Every time there is a hurricane, we just get rain.

We have flash floods, but I live on a hill and this area has never flooded.

The only thing I would say is a big weather issue would be tornados. But I havent seen one of those in years. Last one that was here was like 6 or 7 years ago. Never lost power, just some nasty rain.

We've never had a winter storm where an agency (ERCOT) has discretion on what cities, subdivisions, and houses get power and others don't. Yes, we've had rolling blackouts before, but never this controlled blackout bullshit.

It also just so happens, that the Chinese bought land near Del Rio, TX to build a wind farm. Also, 5 of the 15 ERCOT BOD members don't even live in Texas. There is some fuckery going on, and that's why many Texans are pissed.
