flyguy Loc: Lake Onalaska, Sunfish Capitol of the World!
 
Hi guys, it been a tough 5 days, no power, no heat, no water, everything runs on electricity down here, so when the power goes out, everything stops. We got the first power on today, that we had had since Sunday night. Still, no water, because the main water line froze up and broke. So, we are flushing our toilets by hauling water up from the swimming pool. I had brought along a 5 gal. pail in which to wash my car with, and it's by a busy pail. The condos were cold, no heat. The food shelves are empty, the gas pumps, can't operate without power. It's a real mess! Marion has a Drs, appt. on Monday and I think we are heading North shortly after that, so I going to have to give up my "Good Mornin'" job to whoever wants it. Sorry, guys, I'm not reliable anymore.

First and foremost you are responsible for Marion and your self so if you’re taking care of that then I’d say you’re still reliable. 👍
Others have taken over the “morning show “ so no worries.
Really sorry about what you’re going through. Hope you have a great trip home and please be careful on those icy roads. 🙏

Sorry to hear. We in Central Tx have had the same in most areas. Most have recovered some. Still some in Austin area w/o elect and/or water for a week. We were fortunate where we live, only 2 days w/o water, rolling blackouts for a couple. Got to 1 degree Tues am. We had 140 hours or so of below freezing temps. Praying for all Texans everywhere.
Be safe and warm.
