    THE HAVES ELECTRICITY AND HAVE NOTS ELECTRICITY..

    ABC13 in Houston posted a photo of the city skyline last night, with many of the surrounding homes and businesses in the dark..

    This photo has caused outrage and debate. While some in Texas are taking to their cars to say warm, why is the city skyline still lit while others have had their heat turned off in rolling blackouts!?

    ABC13 reached out to the mayor’s office after hearing residents’ frustrations. Here is the full statement: “Throughout the day, Mayor Turner has asked people to conserve energy because of the power outages. He had mentioned it in tweets, zoom interviews and during his news conference. He has been in contact with CenterPoint Energy and others urging them to restore power to Houstonians as soon as possible. CenterPoint has assured the mayor that it is asking its major providers to conserve energy. The mayor encourages everyone to do their share to help during the extreme winter weather.” Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo also weighed in on the buildings lit up, calling it “maddening.” She said she had been in touch with CenterPoint Energy Tuesday morning.

  • Hell on Earth in the cold winds of winter

    Hell on Earth in the cold winds of winter

    In so many states, scenes looked like the 2004 film THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW..

    The National Weather Service reports extremely cold temperatures ranging from -5 to 3 degrees is predicted through at least noon on Tuesday for all of North and Central Texas.

    Roughly 3.9 million Texans are without power as of early Tuesday morning after the power grid failed.

    Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced late Monday that the Texas National Guard was being deployed to help get people to heating centers. He said state agencies are sending additional resources and personnel to help local officials clear roadways and to assist essential workers.

    NPR reporting,

    Attempts to keep the heat and lights on at the onset of the severe weather failed. Rolling blackouts scheduled early Monday to conserve Texas’s energy supply turned into extended blackouts that are now expected to last well into Tuesday, and possibly longer, energy company officials said.

    The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said the grid lost some 34,000 megawatts of power. Energy sources powering the grid were knocked offline, most of which were powered by natural gas, coal or nuclear energy, according to Houston Public Radio.

    The state grid was already facing some shortages because of frozen wind turbines and limited gas supply.

    In North Texas, energy provider Oncor said power outages in the region, previously expected to last just 45 minutes, will be “significantly extended” and told customers to be prepared to be without power for awhile.

    As of this moment, three people were killed in a tornado that tore through a seaside North Carolina town and millions of people in Texas remained in the dark early Tuesday amid subfreezing temperatures..

    Much of east Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas were under winter storm warnings Tuesday in anticipation of the next round of snow and ice. In Dallas, the Weather Service said more ice and another 2 to 6 inches of snow were expected beginning Tuesday evening.

    In Houston, where county leaders had warned that the freeze could create problems on the scale of massive hurricanes that slam the Gulf Coast, one electric provider said power may not be restored to some homes until Tuesday. More than 500 people were hunkering down at one shelter, but Mayor Sylvester Turner said other warming centers had to be shut down because those locations, too, lost power.

    State officials said soaring demand and cold weather knocking some power stations offline had pushed Texas’ system beyond the limits.

    “This weather event, it’s really unprecedented. We all living here know that,” said Dan Woodfin, senior director of system operations at the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. He defended preparations made by grid operators and described the demand on the system as record-setting.

    This is the best of times.. the worst of times. Allow me to briefly explain. I love autumn. I have always.. but this year, for some strange reason, I am dreading it. The weather has already cooled off a bit and it’s been rainy.. My throat has that touch of soreness this morning. I also heard my son coughing a bit.. The changing seasons, along with allergic reasons, is making me dread it all a bit…

  • Rainfall from the soul

    Rainfall from the soul

    Darkness pervades,
    Unity evades,
    Rainfall is strong,
    Nature’s not wrong

    November is here,
    And almost gone,
    The cold will begin,
    Nature’s not wrong

    A deep and dark fog
    A drenching soak,
    The cloak of cold is long,
    But nature’s not wrong
