“BEFORE YOU COMMENT...This is NOT a political post, so don’t make it political.
I see a lot of people hating on Texas. Especially from the north.
We aren’t asking for hand outs. Those who are, probably just moved here and don’t know that’s not how it works here.
We don’t get cold weather. Plain and simple. That means we don’t have cold weather supplies. Like salt, snowplows etc.
It never stays this cold for this long. Ever.
Our houses aren’t built to withstand cold. Neither is our power grid.
No different than northerners getting 75 consecutive days of 100 degree weather in the summer.
Give us 113 degree days for a month straight and we are out cutting our yards, letting our kids set up lemonade stands and still dressing up for Church in our Sunday best every week.
When the Nashville floods happened, Texans were there to help.
When the wildfires devastated California, we sent our firefighters there.
When the hurricanes hit the Northeast and New York was unprepared. We never judged you, we sent supplies, crews and disaster relief plans we know and use all too often to aid those suffering.
When the tornadoes ripped the midwest apart, again Texas was there to help. We never asked or hesitated. We showed up before help was even asked for.
When the hurricanes hit Florida and Puerto Rico, Texas was there to help.
We even help Mexico with catastrophes often.
We have one of the largest military bases in the world here. It’s important we get shit back to normal.
So don’t shit on us, you never know when you’ll need our help.
We aren’t begging the US gov for help. We just want the electric company to keep the lights on.
And unlike most states. Texas will learn from this and fix the situation. I can guarantee you, natural gas will play a huge roll in fixing the problem. This “all electric” dream just went up in smoke.
Texans are a unique and resilient. Most importantly, we take care of one another and we are the first to jump to our feet to help those in need. We don't ask questions. We want nothing in return. We just want normalcy for ourselves and for others.
Most of us know how to survive, we just got caught off guard. But we will make it. We always do. #TexasStrong

My concern was that as we head to using more wind turbines that there would be a way to winterize them. So, it's really good to know that there is because . . . "Baby, it's cold outside".
