DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Haha same I got the buddy heater against the wall hoping I can do my laundry tomorrow

 

Dang that blows

 

Yeah that sucks.

My mom is in the same boat. I told her that Oncor's latest estimate is 10 pm. Shes like "well good, as long as were on schedule to get it fixed, I'll just grab another blanket and ride it out." Nah, you don't get it, I could have driven out in daylight. Now I get to wait for the inevitable midnight phone call.

 

Is there something to be fixed near her or is she part of the rolling blackouts due to overcapacity? The first is easy, linesmen are good at their job, the second isn't going away overnight.

 

Not sure. She's been without all day, doesnt sound like a rolling outage. Oncor is overwhelmed, so no way to get answers.

 

So, no power/heat, and your t4r won’t start? Are we on the brink of you becoming a Frankcicle?

 

I'm in Oklahoma and it has snowed like 3 inches. I'm loving this snow, I have been drifting and pulling people with sleds.

 

ive got heat via natural gas, have gas stove an water heater too, just cant see anything or watch anything

 

Do most of you not have power

 

I currently have power, heat, and WiFi.

 

the sacrifices ive made for you, may they never be forgotten

 

Power here has been flawless. My little camper generator and extension cords are prepped just in case. I'm glad that I haven't needed it yet, but there's nothing like lording it over the neighbors like making them listen to that whrrrr.

 

Now we’re texting and quoting each other?

 

Power is still cycling on and off at random lengths of time mostly in the 20 to 30 min range for both on and off where I'm at. Been doing it since 2 am.

 

Apartment got to 43 and called it quits. Staying at a buddy’s relatively close

 

Back before covid when we had extended power outages id just to the movies and watch a bunch of shit, now im here watching my phone die

 

Been rolling power outages consistently since 2am. Most are 30-45min off, up to about 1 1/2 hr. Similar to @Thgr8alex

 

I'd honestly rather have that. They are down to 10-20 min each. It's not even enough time to get anything meaningful done. By the time you get the tv turned on/wifi reset/etc., it goes dark again.

 

No problems for me. Which I'm thankful for since I worked today and I'm sure they would have made me waste PTO if I wanted to get paid and didnt have power.
