I'm older than you and your friends. But even when I was younger, I kept more food and Misc. things around for emergencies. I think a big part of it is because I'm a Country person. Extra food, water, blankets, candles, matches, oil lamps and a portable radio. Camping gear is a HUGE help also. Tablets, drawing paper, pencils, cards and board games. Extra food for my animals. Small sterno cans for cooking or heating up food, is a huge help. Plus solar lights and other misc. solar things. Much of the non food items can be bought from thrift stores. You pulled together and made it through a very difficult period. It has taught you a lot. They say the world is changing, (weather wise). So don't take for granted that this is probably a once in a life time situation. Be ready and have extra's for friends and neighbors. Great video...... I wish more people had posted their experiences. Well done! Oh, and get some Ice Cleats. You can get some dirt cheap ones that slip on the bottom of your shoes. No slipping on the ice or snow. No busting your butt on the sidewalk.
@@leenie1176 People vote so, you better prep for Chaos and Crisis. The USA dollar has New World Order written right on it. Making the US Government part of the biggest criminal organization in the world.
You leave a stream of water running about a pencil lead thick, this keeps your pipes from freezing. If they freeze it can burst your pipes, expensive mess. Use a terra-cotta pot prop it upside down on bricks put a fireproof plate with votive candles underneath the terra-cotta pot. Stack metal or put nuts and washers on top of pot, rocks, etc. to create thermal mass. It will take the chill out of the room. Not perfect but better than nothing.
Thanks, we are just fine! It wasn't as bad as the lame stream media makes it out to be. We just dont get this kind of stuff but once ever 10-20 yrs,if that. it was just 4-6" of snow,but frozen ice under it. People here mostly cant drive when it rains,much less ice :) Maybe people will have enough sense to prepare better if it happens next year.
Yeah. It was 87 degrees in Anaheim California during the day. It got down to 47 degrees at night. A 40 degrees difference. Weather around the world is going to start getting extreme.
My heart goes out to you and Everyone in Texas during this time. When you have people that care around you it makes things that much better. Keep safe. All the Best J
I'm from Toronto. The last time that our Great Lakes region got this much snow was back in January of 2000. So, to see a year round warm and hot place like Texas with this kind of weather is very surprising.
Yeah, occasionally my family from Wisconsin will visit Texas isn’t the winter wearing shorts and a t-shirt. It’s odd seeing wether from a completely different place. Like for me, I get confused when people complain about 80 degree weather when in Texas summers are mainly 90 - 115 degrees
Greetings from Russia!!! Hold on, guys! There is no doomsday, just a little bit colder for you. Where I live tonight the temperature dropped to -37 C. and this is normal for us.
You still have power in Russia. It’s easy to hold on when you can still heat your house and cook food. Try going without power and water for a week in the middle of a winter storm
@@lorigetz4489 In Russia, houses are built of stone and concrete. Such houses keep the heat well. In the off-season, when there is no heating yet or no longer, the apartments are heated with ordinary electric heaters. There is gas heating in their homes, where they themselves turn on the heating when they want. And in your country, what do they build houses out of?
We just turned on the generator when we lost power when all this started in Houston for days , we were prepared having plenty of food and water and supplies so we just camped out for a week in the house in sleeping bags and it wasn't bad, it's getting closer to normal now with power back on for probably 80 percent of the state so hopefully a couple warmer days and we can move on until the next disaster .
@@sad754yt I know several who had bought a generator after our flood and were definately more prepared so even a small one just to charge phones ,turn 1 light on and run your fridge can be bought for around 400 so I am glad it's winding down and we're pretty much back to normal in my area
@@donm3844 The big issue is not the generator but the gas for it. Those generators if you look deeper into it only run like 10 hours and your going to buy gas each day. And so is everyone else who has one and you got to keep feeding that baby so you may have to drive quite a ways using even more gas to do so. We just did an 'expensive' staycation in Oregon to escape the ice as we were on the edge of the Portland crap: So as far as having a generator it just wasn't worth it and we racked up a bunch of reward points ironically doing so which we can use later in the other end of the year. Or if another disaster happens sooner.
@@kylehill3643 Hi Kyle,your correct about fuel in the generator thats why I bought a Tri fuel generator,it can use natural gas, propane or gasoline, I mainly run off natural gas because it's already in place but as a backup , I have a 100 pound propane tank I keep full just to power my generator for emergencys as well as a couple 20 pound grill tanks I keep full, plus I keep about 5 gallons of gasoline just for the mower but it's another option I can fall back on also , I have been thru several hurricanes now ,floods and have seen the power down for up to a week , so I have tried to prepare for several problems , the main issue is electric power being down, In Texas during the cold spell we had a natural gas issue also , so having the propane I just switched over to propane and it was as easy as disconnect one and hook my 100 pound tank up and just let it run, I have a found that 20 pounds of propane will run my large generator for about 10 hours generally ,so having the 100 pound tank got us thru the entire outage. we turned ours off in the evening when we went to bed and we would turn it back on in the morning ,so for us we were out of power for 3 days and we were back going after day 3 and the 100 pound tank worked good the entire time and we never had to refill it . I would recommend a tri fuel to anyone and just use propane or natural gas because the fuel never goes bad and it can be stored years and still start right up , I have found you generally don't need to run your generator more then 10 to 14 hours at a time, if I was someone getting a generator I would definately get tri fuel and smaller units will run longer but mine was powering the entire house, a small 5000 watt generator or one for camping might run 20 hours on a grill tank so just letting you know how we got thru and never had to leave the house for more fuel .

We had this cold 2 weeks ago in germany. But electricity has all time worked. I am so glad of it because we have 90 cows and a lot young cattle in the barn to supply. Without electricity it would give chaos. But we have a generator for the tractor for emergency. Thank you for this intense view onto your life in the cold. I feel with you. Now we have more than +14° C at day and nothing reminds on the cold 2 weeks ago. I hope temperatures getting soon normal in your state. Best wishes from Cuxhaven. J-K G
So sad seeing the suffering from people in Texas, hopefully help is arriving sooner and weather gets warmer. My suggestion pick a small room and stay together to keep warm. Melt the snow in big containers to let the sediments sink to the bottom. If you can get those filters from Brita, they are the best option. A candle light actually can warm a little bit in a small area.
My family so blessed that we are here in the philippines .even no power we live normaly.and eat all kind of food we want to eat.if we want cold room.just on the aircon.and can stroll anywhere even without power
So, ages I bought a small gas camping stove, and if something like this was to happen here one of the first things I would go looking for would be gas to power it. I think it would have been really helpful. Though my initial idea of boiling water to keep the place warm might have needed some raining in. Apparently rocks are much better for keeping the heat?
You and your friends have such great attitudes! 💕This will bond you forever. FEMA recommends to keep at least two weeks of easy to heat food and water stored for disasters. Your friend was really smart to store some and very kind to share. Glad you’re experiencing some warmer weather!
Hello, I am a person who experienced the snowstorm yes this happened with us, we couldn’t really go anywhere and the roads were so slippery, everyone was crashing and everything was just chaotic, we had to go to the dollar store to get stuff.
They did it here in UK in 2010 and a few weeks ago,they've done it a few times,but no serious power outages, just frozen pipes and icicles inside house !
Same thing happened to us down here in Tasmania ( Australia ) last winter. A polar vortex came up from Antarctica and dropped the most freeze and snow our state had seen for 70 years. These polar vortex's are defiantly moving around a lot more than they used to.
thank God for having each other to get through this situation. Makes you grateful for everything! Hope everything can get back to normal today!! thank you for this perspective
This exact same situation happened in Scarborough Ontario Canada back in 2013.... There was no water no electricity nothing. All because of an ice storm! I feel sorry for you guys because you're not use to the cold weather. Like Canadians are use to the cold! Here it's minus 20-30 like almost every day! Hang in there God bless you guys!
I can't see before like this family they're still feel happy with out power food l just to say you guys god bless you and My prayer with beautiful family in the world
I remember when we had no power for 3 days, ice everywhere, freezing cold (-4 Fahrenheit) back in 2013 December 16 here in Toronto area. Pretty sure all hell didn't break loose and we weren't all freezing. The trick is to let the water run a bit so the pipes don't have a chance to freeze. Tougher for running water to freeze. Glad you guys are okay though. Hopefully those that suffered worse, can get back to normal.
This is a month old, but I still found myself here. I was on the same power grid as a fire station so I only lost power once, I feel bad for you all who didn’t get power. Luckily my friends had a fire going at their house when we lost power so we could at least stay warm, 60 degrees isn’t normal for Texans when your in a house.
Just a FYI: People often overlook the simplicity of those chemical non-toxic hand warmer packs. You literally open the pouch, mix up the contents by squishing the bag, and you'll have heat for about 6 hours, sometimes more. They're stupid cheap and last forever if unopened. Keep these in your car, by your first aid supplies, and when you go camping. I put them in my shoes and jacket pockets.
HELLO Everyone Enjoyed your video You made it fun!! I just wanted to share my ice-snow storm in 2011-2012=? in Republic Mo near Spg-field, Mo. I was without heat, power,etc for about -I think 12 days!! I had 2 -32 degrees ?-sleeping bags, my boots my nice warm fur coat, warm scarf on my head! I was alone in this experiance . Thank God I survived it.. yours looks more enjoyable!!! love you all.. His GREAT Love & mine Eph2 1-5 BE BLESSED EPH 3 20 !!!
Stay strong. God bless you and your friends for helping each other, I'm praying for Texas to get warm weather fast, and clean water soon. I live on the east coast, so we are used to the winter conditions you are experiencing now, but we usually have power, unless there is an ice storm. I always get refillable water from stores like Acme, Whole Foods, and Walmart, in the winter time, I always make sure I have at least 10 gallons on reserve. You can't do anything about the power, but next winter, just in case, stock up on water and can goods. Stay safe, and God bless you 🙏.
Corona virus social distancing vs freezing to death and gathering together to stay as warm as possible. 2021 is great so far.... Best wishes to everyone in Texas hang in there hopefully you guys will get the help you all need.
gets some moving sound blankets to help create micro heat spaces in rooms and lit a candle within the space when your planning to spend time there or temporary convert your closet or storage room into heat micro spaces.
Power goes out every day for at least 12 hours in my native country plus there is not water supply by the government, so please buy a whole water tanker every week. People also dig wholes in the ground to pull water, and often times water comes out salty, and when people drink that water then they get stomach diseases, and if they wash their hair with that water then their hair turns gray.
We live in Nacogdoches Texas and it got like 10 inches of snow snow and ice which brought tree limbs down knocking out the power for a week straight,, we froze our asses off,, I actually thought I was going to die!!!!! Of freezing to death
This happened to us here in Ontario Canada a few years ago, right in the middle of winter, if you have never been to Canada in the winter, it's impossible for me to explain to you how cold it gets here, impossible. Trees were breaking in half from the ice and cold. That was really scary. I just had my daughter and she was sick, I went to grab a blanket and it was frozen solid lol.. we lived though.. good luck down there..
@@cruzjose4362 its news in the uk...people in texas have been rolling up snowballs and holding a lighter to it. And instead of melting - it burns... Is it true??😲😲😲
difference is texas does not have the infastructure to support cold weather events. Power plants arent winterized, homes are not insulated to to keep out -20c weather. There was no power, no source of heat nor in many cases no running water. So there is NO comparison to Canada. I know, I live in Texas but spent the majority of my life in Canada
Man that sucks it's like Hawaii where I live. And our fridge and cupboards. Are filled with food. We have: power, running water, heat, man that sucks for you guys.
I was in Texas during this south Texas Corpus Christi area, Keep your vehicle with gas and a gas jug in hand , water & food. It was hell , also don’t sleep in your car if it’s old it might have a exhaust leak .
Such joy to have such friendship on a weird V Day... As Texas head towards recovery, I hope your parent is doing well too. Texas has been known for everything bigger, except ERCOT. Notice there are no gun related violence in such progun state. Shout Out for the outliers of Texas (non-ERCOT area) out performing the Texas Triangle!!!
I know friends like to help each other but I really hope you all paid back the friend with the fear of having no food. If you have eaten a lot of her food she may be worried now. Give back to those who help. you all seem a very nice bunch so I think you did already but others watching may have taken and not thought because friends help out but favours do need returned. Heat around the heart is safest as that makes the blood warm to go everywhere around the body. Sorry to see such hard times for you over there.
Judging from your symptoms, you might’ve had Raynaud's disease which is smaller arteries that supply blood to your toes become narrow, limiting blood flow vasospasm due to cold.
Normal on U.S. reservations. No power. No running water. Chop wood to keep warm. This is normal for native s. Preparation is priority 1. Good luck. 12 degrees F. Normal.
I was supposed to search snow storm because im curious about it and suddenly i saw this video and some news on abc channel and people in texas are getting cold and don't have power and makes me feel sad. I hope everything is okay now 😥
I was told we are going to have power rotation! But i lost power for three days and the water for two days. Never thought I would have this mess in Texas! Had to eat potato chips for a couple meals to stay alive.
@Joseph Beausigne thank you that. In texas, even the normal winters we get, will cause trees to freeze over a break off onto houses and roads. We get pipes that freeze here and there....but this storm got really bad ..much worse than what we were warned for and lasted much longer. And we definitely didn't expect no power for days. Grrrrr. In other winters if someone lost power...the companies would do whatever they could to get it on in less then 3 hours. But in this storm, they turned 3.8 million off on purpose and then couldn't get it back on.
Girl put some heavy wool hiking socks on, some decent hiking boots, and if you can hand warmers. Works very well during cold spring or polar vortex weather through a lake front. Anyway stay safe out there wish I can do my part and help as many as I can over there.
I have no friends, but I don’t because I’m picky. I don’t enjoy being around people who are either drunk, or using drugs. That leaves out so many people that a road trip is required if I did have friends. In the same way some people are germaphobes, I am nauseated by the idea of anything which impairs thought. @KNIGHTFALL, there are some who do evening live feeds, and followers chat with each other while listening to the one speaking. It isn’t quite the same, but it is a connection.
Hello, 🌻 I'll be your distant friend, don't be sad. Sometimes its better not to have to many friends. I don't have anyone i can actually call a friend. I think I'm a nice person. I bet your a nice person also. Just keep up the faith. Sorry about the bad weather over there. I feel for you all. You take care. From Susie 🌺in Albuquerque NM.
@@violetgibson9 I feel the same way about drunk/high people as you do. Thats why I never really connected with anyone in high school. My Twitter is @erikdragonfirex if you ever want to talk
.... obviously because when ur used to it, and things are build for it thats no problem xD we have not even every year snow here where i live in germany only all few years but its no problem even if we have 80" its just that texas just isnt used to it and has nothing build against it
i wouldnt say nothing happened, here in portland the city basically shut down as it always does when it snow, and we had power outages due to falling trees. but yeah nothing like whats happening in texas. they are ridiculouisly unprepared for a little snow storm
Do homes in Texas have insulation to keep the houses warm? Cause I always thought winters in Texas are like northern India where the temperatures rarely go below 0C and we only have external plugged in heating devices reliant on electricity. We'd be damned if this freak phenomenon happened here.
That’s people who thought they were clever and could pay what the market pays. They wanted a wholesale rate. Doesn’t always work out. The company was Griddy.
One attorney recommended that if you have auto pay for your electric bill to have it discontinued. Outrageous prices and you don't even have adequate electric to survive!
It’s one of the better ones I viewed in regards to your power outage and staying warm. You need to sport a thin inner and wool outer socks and keep them toes from turn pale.....it was so painful watching them toes. Stay well fed and warm OC. And may the recovery be fast and memorable.
Feel bad for your toes. Get some wool socks. I bought some for the first time before the storm and they helped a lot. I plan to get wool blankets now Edit. I was in Austin it was crazy
It made me so mad how ill prepared texas was for lack of power. This happened in 2010 too. This isn't the first time Texad has had snow and the government still did nothing to improve the infrastructure.

@People who Use youtube no Tennessee
This exact same situation happened in Scarborough Ontario Canada back in 2013.... There was no water no electricity nothing. All because of an ice storm! I feel sorry for you guys because you're not use to the cold weather. Like Canadians are use to the cold! Here it's minus 20-30 like almost every day! Hang in there God bless you guys!
Thx for sharing how to survive with awesome friends
Imagine the Bay Area people who never saw snow moving to Texas and they see this
Go back home 😂

🤥Joe Biden caught lying 🤥 about helping Texas, he sends limited aid.
Nobody is concerned with the well being of the Californians that have ruined our city. Go Home
Imagine being from MN and going to Texas for a week to escape the cold and get this shit.
I can't see before like this family they're still feel happy with out power food l just to say you guys god bless you and My prayer with beautiful family in the world
I remember when we had no power for 3 days, ice everywhere, freezing cold (-4 Fahrenheit) back in 2013 December 16 here in Toronto area. Pretty sure all hell didn't break loose and we weren't all freezing. The trick is to let the water run a bit so the pipes don't have a chance to freeze. Tougher for running water to freeze. Glad you guys are okay though. Hopefully those that suffered worse, can get back to normal.
Or you can shut the water off. Common sense
This is a month old, but I still found myself here. I was on the same power grid as a fire station so I only lost power once, I feel bad for you all who didn’t get power. Luckily my friends had a fire going at their house when we lost power so we could at least stay warm, 60 degrees isn’t normal for Texans when your in a house.
Texas slowly growing respect for Canada and the Northern states ;) Hope you stay warm and safe!
Isolate rooms with curtains. Close doors to rooms and stay in one main room. Keep the heat!
People need fresh O2
@@bagdadaladin8672 then how do people make it in states with snow 5 months out of the year? if we need fresh air we go outside.
This makes me so sad. I’m sorry Texas is in this horrific mess. God bless you all ❤️
thanks for your POV in this situation. I hope now you are ok.
Just a FYI: People often overlook the simplicity of those chemical non-toxic hand warmer packs. You literally open the pouch, mix up the contents by squishing the bag, and you'll have heat for about 6 hours, sometimes more. They're stupid cheap and last forever if unopened. Keep these in your car, by your first aid supplies, and when you go camping. I put them in my shoes and jacket pockets.
Not sure if I should say this....but maybe can opt for solar panels for electricity back up or even to reduce electricity bill...
HELLO Everyone Enjoyed your video You made it fun!! I just wanted to share my ice-snow storm in 2011-2012=? in Republic Mo near Spg-field, Mo. I was without heat, power,etc for about -I think 12 days!! I had 2 -32 degrees ?-sleeping bags, my boots my nice warm fur coat, warm scarf on my head! I was alone in this experiance . Thank God I survived it.. yours looks more enjoyable!!! love you all.. His GREAT Love & mine Eph2 1-5 BE BLESSED EPH 3 20 !!!
My prayers go out to you, your friends and everyone in Texas.
Stay strong. God bless you and your friends for helping each other, I'm praying for Texas to get warm weather fast, and clean water soon. I live on the east coast, so we are used to the winter conditions you are experiencing now, but we usually have power, unless there is an ice storm. I always get refillable water from stores like Acme, Whole Foods, and Walmart, in the winter time, I always make sure I have at least 10 gallons on reserve. You can't do anything about the power, but next winter, just in case, stock up on water and can goods. Stay safe, and God bless you 🙏.
Actually we broke a record with the coldest record. We just got water back today up in DFW
Corona virus social distancing vs freezing to death and gathering together to stay as warm as possible. 2021 is great so far.... Best wishes to everyone in Texas hang in there hopefully you guys will get the help you all need.
for water for dishes etc. (not for drnking) you can put a garbage bag in a big cardboard box and use it to keep water.
gets some moving sound blankets to help create micro heat spaces in rooms and lit a candle within the space when your planning to spend time there or temporary convert your closet or storage room into heat micro spaces.
Its sad to see the struggle. Its good they kept their spirits high.
Power goes out every day for at least 12 hours in my native country plus there is not water supply by the government, so please buy a whole water tanker every week. People also dig wholes in the ground to pull water, and often times water comes out salty, and when people drink that water then they get stomach diseases, and if they wash their hair with that water then their hair turns gray.
Why dont you have a national grid? Is it really state grid only?
Is sledding the best option if you don’t have heat? Yikes!
Good to see those smiles even during this hard times. Keep it up.
Those smiles would have faded quickly once the food ran out.
We live in Nacogdoches Texas and it got like 10 inches of snow snow and ice which brought tree limbs down knocking out the power for a week straight,, we froze our asses off,, I actually thought I was going to die!!!!! Of freezing to death
I love you guys....thank you for sharing your experience.....with good friends and love we are all gonna survive the craziness stay safe!!!! ❤❤🌠🌈
Sleding with yoga mats,ive seen it all 🤣🤣🤣
When its that cold does the tiolet work what happens when you got to take a dump
Ya have to make the best of it, Glad you all had a little fun!!!! stay safe!
wait how is your microwave working if the power is out ????🤔🤔🤔
This happened to us here in Ontario Canada a few years ago, right in the middle of winter, if you have never been to Canada in the winter, it's impossible for me to explain to you how cold it gets here, impossible. Trees were breaking in half from the ice and cold. That was really scary. I just had my daughter and she was sick, I went to grab a blanket and it was frozen solid lol.. we lived though.. good luck down there..
When Canadians have ice storms it can be just as bad!
You pretty awesome for staying cheerful in such a disaster. Thanks for the video!
disaster? u mean a temporary inconvenience?
May i ask why the Texas snow burns instead of melts when fire is introduced?🙄
What kinda snow r u talking about...
@@cruzjose4362 its news in the uk...people in texas have been rolling up snowballs and holding a lighter to it.
And instead of melting - it burns...
Is it true??😲😲😲
What? So, they turned it off? Why?
Heres the good part, millions of people got a wakeup call and will be more prepared for the rest of their lives.
one can only hope.
How do you deal with bathroom ?
Now you know what its like in Canada
difference is texas does not have the infastructure to support cold weather events. Power plants arent winterized, homes are not insulated to to keep out -20c weather. There was no power, no source of heat nor in many cases no running water. So there is NO comparison to Canada. I know, I live in Texas but spent the majority of my life in Canada
why would u go sledging when it cold in ur house?
Man that sucks it's like Hawaii where I live. And our fridge and cupboards. Are filled with food. We have: power, running water, heat, man that sucks for you guys.
Thanks for adding Celcius, i hate winter so much, only good thing is i don't have to move the lawn
Ya. Moving a lawn sounds like a lot of work.
@@MrRyan684 😂 they obviously meant mow, predictive txts :/
I was in Texas during this south Texas Corpus Christi area, Keep your vehicle with gas and a gas jug in hand , water & food.
It was hell , also don’t sleep in your car if it’s old it might have a exhaust leak .
Thanks for the tips :)
That Flash Light Burned My Eyes
Lol
What happened to your smoke alarms there?
the round garbage can lids make the best diy sleds. 44 degrees is a nice brisk day up here in pnw, hell thats hiking weather
@5:31 I hope you didn’t get frost bite. One other thing is to get hand and toe warmers and order them online.
Such joy to have such friendship on a weird V Day... As Texas head towards recovery, I hope your parent is doing well too. Texas has been known for everything bigger, except ERCOT. Notice there are no gun related violence in such progun state. Shout Out for the outliers of Texas (non-ERCOT area) out performing the Texas Triangle!!!
I know friends like to help each other but I really hope you all paid back the friend with the fear of having no food. If you have eaten a lot of her food she may be worried now. Give back to those who help. you all seem a very nice bunch so I think you did already but others watching may have taken and not thought because friends help out but favours do need returned. Heat around the heart is safest as that makes the blood warm to go everywhere around the body. Sorry to see such hard times for you over there.
We did! :)
Are your houses made of cardboard or something cause buddy up in the great white north its a blizzard for 6 months bud
Survival bushcraft, hunting, gathering videos are my hobby now😆
Judging from your symptoms, you might’ve had Raynaud's disease which is smaller arteries that supply blood to your toes become narrow, limiting blood flow vasospasm due to cold.
Keep them moving before you loose them , I experience -15 celsius on my body , and everything is there working, no amputation.
it's frostbite conditions. keep feet warm. goes away when it gets warmer.
Normal on U.S. reservations. No power. No running water. Chop wood to keep warm. This is normal for native s. Preparation is priority 1. Good luck. 12 degrees F. Normal.
I was supposed to search snow storm because im curious about it and suddenly i saw this video and some news on abc channel and people in texas are getting cold and don't have power and makes me feel sad. I hope everything is okay now 😥
I was told we are going to have power rotation! But i lost power for three days and the water for two days. Never thought I would have this mess in Texas! Had to eat potato chips for a couple meals to stay alive.
as long as u have water you can skip meals for some time
@@DaxRaider Yes! I am still Alive! haha now heading to Popeyes!
I have a friend that lives in Texas and I feel bad for everyone who lives there but he has power now and I play with him on games
How is she charging the recording device???
New englanders saying "you call that snow"
Welcome to our usual lives here in Northern Canada. Glad you figured life out!!
@Joseph Beausigne thank you that. In texas, even the normal winters we get, will cause trees to freeze over a break off onto houses and roads. We get pipes that freeze here and there....but this storm got really bad ..much worse than what we were warned for and lasted much longer. And we definitely didn't expect no power for days. Grrrrr. In other winters if someone lost power...the companies would do whatever they could to get it on in less then 3 hours. But in this storm, they turned 3.8 million off on purpose and then couldn't get it back on.
Girl put some heavy wool hiking socks on, some decent hiking boots, and if you can hand warmers. Works very well during cold spring or polar vortex weather through a lake front. Anyway stay safe out there wish I can do my part and help as many as I can over there.
I have no friends, I feel sad sometimes😔
That sucks. Sorry
I have no friends, but I don’t because I’m picky. I don’t enjoy being around people who are either drunk, or using drugs. That leaves out so many people that a road trip is required if I did have friends. In the same way some people are germaphobes, I am nauseated by the idea of anything which impairs thought.
@KNIGHTFALL, there are some who do evening live feeds, and followers chat with each other while listening to the one speaking. It isn’t quite the same, but it is a connection.
Hello, 🌻 I'll be your distant friend, don't be sad. Sometimes its better not to have to many friends. I don't have anyone i can actually call a friend. I think I'm a nice person. I bet your a nice person also. Just keep up the faith. Sorry about the bad weather over there. I feel for you all. You take care. From Susie 🌺in Albuquerque NM.
@@susiegabaldon5963 thank you for the kind words, it means a lot to me. My twitter is @erikdragonfirex if you ever want to talk
@@violetgibson9 I feel the same way about drunk/high people as you do. Thats why I never really connected with anyone in high school. My Twitter is @erikdragonfirex if you ever want to talk
Pacific NW had 8” snow last weekend but nothing is happened.
It's the South..Everything is ancient down here..Sad really..Smfh.
.... obviously because when ur used to it, and things are build for it thats no problem xD we have not even every year snow here where i live in germany only all few years but its no problem even if we have 80" its just that texas just isnt used to it and has nothing build against it
i wouldnt say nothing happened, here in portland the city basically shut down as it always does when it snow, and we had power outages due to falling trees. but yeah nothing like whats happening in texas. they are ridiculouisly unprepared for a little snow storm
Towels over door cracks. Scotch tape window and door seams. Don’t open the door, you’re letting the heat out! Staying warm is key.
No, they need more activity and breaze
I was a very lucky one in Northern Texas we had 13 inches of snow and we never lost power or water.
Do homes in Texas have insulation to keep the houses warm? Cause I always thought winters in Texas are like northern India where the temperatures rarely go below 0C and we only have external plugged in heating devices reliant on electricity. We'd be damned if this freak phenomenon happened here.
No, homes in Texas are not insulated and neither are pipes
This Reminds Me Of A Movie Where Snow Blocks Fall From Sky Snow Everywhere
Could Of Been Worse.
I seen on the news some people has electric bill over $10,000 just wondering if your house or your friends have a huge electric bill?
That’s people who thought they were clever and could pay what the market pays. They wanted a wholesale rate. Doesn’t always work out. The company was Griddy.
I’m not sure yet, I hope not 😭
One attorney recommended that if you have auto pay for your electric bill to have it discontinued. Outrageous prices and you don't even have adequate electric to survive!
@@Brennasphere Weird. Ours was slightly less then usual for having no power.
Hold on, good luck! Greetings from Russia.
Thank you!!!
I love your positive attitude thru this! It really makes the difference between sanity and self-defeat and destruction!! Cudos to you guys!!
It’s one of the better ones I viewed in regards to your power outage and staying warm. You need to sport a thin inner and wool outer socks and keep them toes from turn pale.....it was so painful watching them toes. Stay well fed and warm OC. And may the recovery be fast and memorable.
Those white toes could be caused by Raynaud's phenomenon.
Exactly..I"m Diabetic and get that all the time. Especially in the winter.
They may also mean FROSTBITE which is very serious she needs medical care for that.
Yup that is what I have , It happens to my fingers in even temps of the 50s and 60s
OR: they can also happen just if ur cold xD
it's only -12 though... i live in a van in -30 here in Canada...
Feel bad for your toes. Get some wool socks. I bought some for the first time before the storm and they helped a lot. I plan to get wool blankets now
Edit. I was in Austin it was crazy
Ihe habt mein Mitgefühl..... wir sind viele und manifestieren und meditieren für Euch das BESTE.... ❤️☀️♥️
i wanted to check on you, are you fine? , I hear it's really cold
It made me so mad how ill prepared texas was for lack of power. This happened in 2010 too. This isn't the first time Texad has had snow and the government still did nothing to improve the infrastructure.
