TX anon. We have ranch in the Hill Country. We have show horses with one little filly that was recently born in a Petrie dish. Sire and dam too famous to take a risk with normal breeding. Egg from mom and straw of semen from father. We have goats, and chickens. Right now I have 40 baby chicks in my laundry room because power is out and that means no heat lamps in the barn for them. I have three 100 lb dogs that decided tonight was a great night to hunt and kill an armadillo. They are covered with mud and their shower in the laundry room is not working. They are in the laundry room with the baby chicks. We have not had power since 3 today. It is cold in the house. We have no water as it comes from a well pump that works with electricity.
I am worried sick about my livestock. The water trickle is not getting to their troughs so the water will freeze. We have over 4 inches of snow on the ground and there almost no food at Walmart or HEB. We do have water in the bathtub.
Thank god, I am a food hoarder and a prepper (3mons supply meals). People around here are worried about their families making it without the water and power while freezing in their homes.
There are a lot of poor people suffering in Texas right now. We should never had such horrible ERCOT service as we being known an oil and gas state. Shame on our leaders who were not prepared for this. There will be hell to pay when this is over. Hopefully, many bigwigs will lose their jobs because of their ineptness.
More people will die tonight in TX. Please pray for all of Texas. Love you anons.
The pics were taken today at our local Walmart. The beer shelves are empty except for some nasty Budweiser flavored beer and the dairy shelves are completely empty. One person was buying Perrier water and decided the beer might be a better choice. No water anywhere to be bought either.
