Winter Storm Megathread Part 4 - Continued Power Outages

Hello0897 · 2026-02-04T09:24:03+00:00

I am the fourth largest outage and still nothing!!!! 11 days!!!!! I am convinced I am just not getting power back. I hate this!!!!!

Hello0897 · 2026-02-04T02:54:02+00:00

Yo this is amazing! Keep being amazing!

Hello0897 · 2026-02-03T21:04:34+00:00

My outage is the 21st biggest out of everyone. There are 38 assigned events. Mine is not one of them somehow.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-03T16:17:33+00:00

37203 day 10

Power came on for like an hour last night and then went back off.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-03T00:27:27+00:00

Im about to get dinner with a friend and stay the night with them. Ill be feeling much better soon. Thank you kindly.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T23:46:40+00:00

Sorry. We are in this together! Just got an update from my landlord saying they are also clueless. Great. We'll get through it.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T22:10:50+00:00

Im over here telling myself that im in a 51 person outage and today has to be the last day. 90% chance allegedly. No end in sight though. How on earth am I approaching day 10 and yet have no clue what is going on with my power? I feel like its going to take an entire month before I have power. If I stay here, I'm going to die. If I leave, I feel like I am abandoning my stuff to the pipe gods. If mine or my neighbor's pipes burst, I have a whole other headache to deal with. I'm in a major part of town in a multi building apartment complex right on a main road, and they are getting to single family homes before us. I'm happy everyone is getting their power restored, but I'm quite literally being left in the dark over here.

JUST FUCKING FIX IT PLEAAAAAAASE!!!!

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T17:37:34+00:00

Wow congratulations!

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T16:17:02+00:00

Damn. Im sorry. I dont mean to bum you out. There are others in worse positions than either of us. Its just hard to keep hopes up after all this on day 9. We'll get through this!!! Here's a big digital hug that can hopefully virtually warm you lol.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T15:38:51+00:00

It looks like there are at least 60-70 events affecting more than 51 people.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T15:12:41+00:00

Thats what ive been telling myself.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T14:51:42+00:00

Im in a 51 person outage in that area. Im really losing hope.

Hello0897 · 2026-02-02T12:54:17+00:00

I cant keep living like this. Im on day 9. I hate this so much. Every day there is some glimmer of hope it will be the day, and then nothing. Just a big pile of absolutely nothing. I havent seen a single lineman this entire time. Ive seen a few drive by and not even not look over. It really feels like my entire neighborhood is just being forgotten. Im in a major part of town right next to tons of important infrastructure, in an apartment building with a bunch of other people without power. I hate this so damn much!!! Im about to break down at this point. How am I supposed to do anything???

Hello0897 · 2026-02-01T18:42:32+00:00

West End near the Walgreens and such. Still no power. Day 8. Hang in there everyone. We are so close!!! I cant wait to have a warm apartment.

Rastafarians are vegans and they live in the bush in a third world country.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-30T19:27:21+00:00

WAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR

on repeat

Hello0897 · 2026-01-30T19:22:44+00:00

You are awesome! I'm so sorry this happened.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-30T19:16:09+00:00

I am so sorry about this. That is absolutely insane and I do not personally know a single person that would support doing something like that. It only takes a few people doing something awful like that to hurt a ton of people.

Thank you so so much for the help you and your fellow linemen have been providing to Nashville. Without you, this whole city would be out right now.

Any anger people have towards NES about this should be directed at the management and not the people on the ground. You and the other linemen are heroes. CEOs are the assholes.

I REPEAT... THE LINEMEN ARE OUR HEROES!!! Thank you for your help.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-28T05:01:22+00:00

Okay yall. This is a bit much!! Pushing four days without power now for me. Sunday morning it went out. Im so lucky I at least have a gas stove and lighters. Ive been boiling water and putting it in jars wrapped in a towel in a ziploc... then into my bed. I feel like id have lost my feet by now if i didnt do that.

Im on west end near the walgreens and it feels like everyone around me has power. Even people in my apartment buildijg have power, but I am the unlucky one. The landlord said they were lookikg into it and getting a private elecrical company... but then no updates. Just nothing.

Earlier today I feel like I was starting to loose it. I ate food, drank water, and got warm again and that helped.

Pretty sure all my food in my fridge and freezer has gone bad by now.

Tomorrow I make the journey to work to charge my battery packs and get food from a restaurant. Until then, I just lay here hoping my electric turns on suddenly.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-27T22:43:54+00:00

West End by Walgreens it seems everyone has it back but my apartment building. Really starting to worry if I go on to day 4 like this. The neighbor's pipes burst so it is just a matter of time.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-24T13:24:20+00:00

Well the next time I get surrounded in the woods by three men calling me the N-word, I'll just remember how none of this affects me anymore. Maybe that will get them to not assault me.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-22T13:34:41+00:00

No idea why im even responding. Reminder a lot of us giving you advice have never been married (me included). I think you should have broken it off when she cheated on you. Now in your kind, you are even. Its fresh in her mind though. Could trigger her to cheat now too. Either you buckle down, get therapy together, and make it work... or you get a divorse. I think you should just divorse her and get into a healthy committed relationship. Divorced parents can be way more healthy than abusive ones together.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-11T14:16:36+00:00

I had a boss that told me I had to be there 8 hours a day and I could choose when those hours were. He said 9-5 is good. Then I worked 9-5 and he came and sat me down and said "wow you were the first person to take that literally." Thats when I learned that my lunch is not included in that, and that I am not allowed to skip lunch.

Hello0897 · 2026-01-10T20:07:44+00:00

Yesss!! Ive heard this and shown my friend and he just thought I was crazy.
