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

My rolling blackout time frames are getting shorter and shorter. Just had power on for 7 minutes. I feel like I'm either headed to my house becoming a strobe light or I'm going to lose power altogether here soon with what's expected to come.

 

still nothing since 7:30 am yesterday for me

 

Ours is intermittent. It will stay on for a while, then go off. The off periods have been getting longer. Then it will go through rapid cycling for a while before settling back on.

 

I got a notification on my phone saying my carrier (AT&T) has temporarily suspended data and cell service. Woohoo!

 

Seriously? I hope you get a big credit or something on your next bill

 

We shall see... haha

 

And according to the internet, AT&T and T-mobile are both temporarily down primarily in the areas hit hardest from the storm and both say they are working on getting it back up.

 

Been out of power at my place since 4am yesterday morning, was 32 degrees in my house when I went to check on it this morning. Left my gas stove top burners on to hopefully help my pipes from freezing.

 

My team uses cellular MiFis to work, and we are seeing serious disruptions but our carrier is Verizon. However on my personal Sprint/T Mobile phone it is just about useless on data right now.
All of this is impacting our ability to work remotely.

 

My fiber from Frontier isn't as fast as it should be but I have power too. In Grapevine. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones

 

My vz phone data hasnt worked since yesterday, my att phone has been fine

 

Ours is supposed to be critical infrastructure priority but we are still having issues.

 

I got power back on at 11:30 this morning. It went out around 5 pm yesterday

 

Thanks @Naveronski for picking up and bringing me a battery, i got a running truck now yeet

 

Just in time for round two!

 

I got the hot water flowing. My old azz ain’t built for crawling around in the attic. Got my temp gun and shot the tubing till I found the frozen part. Then the big dewalt heat gun on it till I heard it start flowing. Then reinsulated and covered a soffit vent where the cold wind was blowing in on it. Just hauled more firewood. Now having a Signet scotch and in for the day.

 

That’s great

 

Cheers fellas
