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.
I thought part of the problem with the hospitals was not because they don't have generators but because they don't have the fuel to power them.
Correct, the lines for the nat gas were freezing as well. People are bitching this was preventable this and that but even the Cities Mains that were double insulated froze and busted... It was just that fucking cold. And it ain't the kind of cold Northerners profess to brave... we're talking Freezing weather with actual Humidity in the air still.... this is the kind of cold only Sailors know about.
When I was a Boy scout a friend of our troop leader was the captain of a Coast Guard ice breaker serving Lake Michigan. I got to go out when it was somewhere in the range of below zero to insane fucking cold. I know from wence you speak. Good luck fren!
As far as I’ve seen from civil work I’ve done in Texas most hospitals opt for a diesel system with sometimes quite sizable tanks (10-30k gal). Water and food is more of a concern at the moment.
God help you all!
