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.
Prepping is al well and good, but it doesn’t do jack shit for you when your pipes aren’t insulated.
Honestly, the major component of this is the fact that our infrastructure isn’t geared to handle below freezing temps. Everything else is secondary.
Also, the news likes to focus on all the welfare cases crying about how they don’t have water. That’s entirely on those people.
The major component of this is that the bureaucrats in charge of infrastructure KNEW the pipes should be insulated, but didn't do it.
A lot of dumb tomorrow problems can be prevented by trying and executing corrupt, incompetent bureaucrats today.
What pipes and what bureaucrats? If you’re talking about the energy producers, yes, maybe more needed to be done. We don’t know what kind of prep they did yet. The “fixable” aspect of this CF is there.
lmao insulating the above ground gas transit pipes. You know the big 8" cunts that aren't yours.
The swimming noodles are made from the same material as Everbilt pipe insulation & can be used for the pipes.
Umm... if your pipes are in danger of freezing, you don't turn off the water, that will just leave water in the lines to your house and they WILL freeze. You actually have to leave the water running all the time. Where I live it is so cold you have to leave a faucet on all winter (starting in January) or the pipes will freeze.
Winterizing a home involves putting a non toxic antifreeze into the drain pipes because you can't "empty all the water out of them" because of the traps. And for the input lines they have to be shut off at the utility level by the city, unless you have your own well. Not sure where you live but where I am there is no drain valve (and there isn't in most houses - they are very old though)
Umm, my family did.
