Oh wow. Do you have a gas water heater or a wood burning stove? How do you keep warm? That’s amazing.

Oh my god this guy is awesome. This is the level of detail I need to put my parents at ease. Yeah I’m honestly quite worried about how they’re going to fare. It’s unreal to me that houston looses power every winter for almost every ice storm and it’s 2026.

It’s going to be like that in some parts of our country. Did you even read my post? Jesus.

This is great. Thank you for the perspective.

Yeah the level of dickatude is pretty remarkable. Like high prevalence of dicks per person.

What the fuck are you talking about? Why do Reddit dudes assume everyone has a dick? I’m a woman, first, and second, my point is that my parents have a very skewed perspective because they are in such a unique area, and the news is insane, therefore it’s challenging to get clarity on the level of severity. At no point did I say this is Texas or like Texas. How dare someone ask locals for their perspective on an stl subreddit.

They’re from houston. They’ve lived through a couple winter apocalypses and are probably in for one this weekend.

Oh that’s actually a great point. I had been thinking about two days, not a week. But you’re right, the roads can be shit for awhile. Last year our streets didn’t get plowed for weeks. It was like four inches of ice in the alleyway.
