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.
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)
