Yeah, that is tough. I saw that 13 million people didn't have water today. So you were definitely fortunate. Seems that power is coming back finally. But those water systems will take some time to sort out. The whole situation sucks.


My older brother is one of the unfortunate ones without water. But he did not have to deal with any power outages. He told me they are likely not going to have water until Sunday, Monday being the latest. Insane.

Those cities and towns are going to have to flush their entire water systems until they get good disinfection numbers across the whole system. Depending on the size, that could take days. Considering how horrid regulations are in Texas, I'd be wary of drinking the water for a bit even after the boil water notice is lifted.

If you're gonna play in Texas, you gotta have a fiddle in the band.
