Evidently I need to change batteries in fire alarms cause it made them go off. There are only 12 of them.....  I know. Mine have an alarm wire that connects between all of ours and if one goes off for any reason they all go off. This is the worst way to wake up at 1 am.

they can run full tilt and keep everyone in ac in summer, now they can't keep the heat on for about 3 million and have to do blackouts. I call BS! when this place thaws I am gonna have problems I really don't want.  Bar a real mild winter my usage is always higher in winter. A lot of people have gas and that should offset some usage but a lot of people are home too.

The ones that have not had any rolling blackouts most likely live near a fire station or hospital or something vital. One we know of we asked and they live right by a fire station.
We have power now but who knows for how long...

Haven’t any blackout here yet in Farmers Branch. We are doing everything we can to conserve. Have had a fire going all day. Keeping t-stat at 67 (gas heat). Hang in there gents.
LET’S GO BRANDON!!!

So far in Amarillo we haven't had an issue but they are saying they may shut the grid down for an hour to "conserve" power. I have back up propane heat so I will be okay as long as it doesn't last too long.

I lived in South Dakota for several years, this is a walk in the park
call it what you will...he is not definitely not anywhere near the top of the list for QB's that I would choose needing a FG or touchdown drive late in the game.

Frustrating thing is all the folks that have had multiple blackout and then there are folks that haven’t had any yet. We’ve had two rolling blackouts and two many hour outages and I know of several people that haven’t had any yet.
JR mine have been on for 30 mins and off for 30 mins. since 0200 about to lose it again. just hoping propane lasts till they can get here, down to 40% on one tank this morning and using it up quick with the blackout bs. 2 500 gal tanks buried.
