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.

It’s difficult to be prepared when we aren’t used to this shit.

This is literally the problem prepping solves.

You don't need like 3 years of freeze dried Patriot Chow and 15krd of 556 in your garage, just have like basic shit to live normally for a couple weeks to a month.

Preparation is key. Alot of stuff needed for hurricane season was needed this week. Also having a good community of like minded people to depend on is great. 3 neighbors had busted pipes and one had a fire. We help each other. I added additional insulation to my house 2 years ago, replaced the windows last year and repiped the house with pex 3 years ago. I was able to ride it out with the inside temp saying at 50° the whole time. The pex was able to take the freeze and thaw without leaking.

Why are so many pipes bursting? Pretty simple to turn off the incoming water supply valve and open up all the faucets to drain...?
