I fear for the repercussions that stem from this event.As cold as Alaska right now and 4.4 million with no power. Nearly all of them currently losing their water as pipes freeze. No power, no water soon or already for many. Really bad.
Texas city forced to shut off water due to winter storm

At least you’ve had power at all!
I thought for sure you’d have a little generator knowing your life style. Those little whisper quiet suitcase style would be better than nothing and are pretty affordable.

Damn that's crazy, y'all need anything?
You know nothing about generators.
Come install it broFor anyone looking for a fighting chance in the future consider installing a back up generator. I’ve installed a handful of these in the past few months. Customers are happy with the product and support from company is really good.

Some will run off your homes natural gas or if you have a big propane tank that’ll work too. I haven’t looked but they may have a gas/diesel option as well. For a 5kw to run just essentials loads to keep food good and phones charged all said and done it’s around $8000CA, that’s parts and labour. We did one that was a 27kw for an older guy which would run his whole house and he could sell power to neighbours for around $20,000. Once installed it’s all automatic with a transfer switch. Power goes out and within 10 seconds it’ll fire up and run. Wifi capable so if you’re out of town you’ll get notified of it turns on. Would recommend.

You know, I’ve almost bought one a few times. What can I say, I should’ve pulled the trigger!
Post like this is why Muricans are hated by the international community. Accept the help or freeze to death.
So far so good ?
Absolutely! You can hand out flyers advertising $100/hour to rent an extension cord of you. You’ll make a fortune.
I want a duel fuel with auto cut over switch. Can you also install a big neon sign to let my neighbors know we have power when they don't?
Fuck yes!
While it is pretty funny that Texan society is collapsing as a result of all this snow/cold weather, I can confidently say that in the exact same scenario, the death toll in Florida would be at least 500.
Do you even own a winter jacket? Gloves? Toque?
