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.
Has anyone (bums don't count) even "frozen to death"? It's not all that cold and all the non-traffic deaths I'm seeing are just basic idiocy and misadventure involving using heat sources that generate CO indoors with inadequate ventilation.
Haven't heard of anyone freezing to death, wouldn't doubt they might find a few before it's over. I wouldn't say "It's not all that cold", it was -6 here the other morning and the temp hasn't risen above 25 all week. We just don't have the winter gear or build homes for those prolonged low temps, so that's the real source of the problem.
Most newer homes rely on electricity for heat, same as apartments, which has been part of the problem too. I'm lucky, my older home, like pretty much all of them in this neighborhood, use gas space heaters and gas stoves, so it's been an inconvenience more than anything for us being without electricity.
Another problem is that without electricity, stores can't open so getting food, gas or anything you need has been difficult. We have a good foot of solid ice and snow on the roads, so it ain't easy getting around, most people don't have snow tires or chains.
It's not being talked about, but neighboring states are having issues too, and it's not being reported, because the news is all in on FUCK TEXAS, and trying to wrangle them back under federal control.
