My heart is breaking for people that still don't have electricity even though most people do have power. Now the problem is water! So many friends and people without water to drink, to boil, to SHOWER! And so many with water damages to clean up in their homes and storage units because of pipes busting. So I thought that I would share with you.
We are doing some clean up around here too but nothing serious. We are grateful to be able to wash clothes. Really need to see if the cars still start too. So whatever you are doing, please enjoy and make the most of it.
good morning...hope all is well in your world. sun is shining bright here today, the birds are singing...and not so cold. hopefully that's a sign all of this really bad winter weather is done reaking havok on this country. my thoughts and prayers go out to people in texas who are suffering . i wish you a day of happiness and peace...mk
We are one of the lucky ones with electricity back on, haven't lost water, and no broken pipes. However, we are only 26 this mid Friday morning. I still have lots of friends with no water or boil water advisory. Most, not all, have electricity. So many businesses, hotels, and homes with broken pipes. Store shelves are empty and gas stations are too. Trucks have not been able to get here to refill anything.
We were above freezing a degree or two yesterday with the sun which started snow melting. Then got to 15 last night which has made the roads icy. The sun is shining today and by Monday we are hoping the snow will be gone. We have so much to be thankful for today!
So I thought I would share with you some of our fun pictures. Hope you can view the links and I anxiously await your responses.
We lost electricity early Monday morning about 2:30 am and went 14 hours without any. At about 36 hours we had only had maybe 5 hours of power. Now we are in rolling blackouts but the entire time we have been able to stay warm. However, a cousin in Arlington has had no electricity since early Monday morning, as do hundreds of thousands of people in Texas. My friend in Alice, near Corpus Christi, not only hasn't had electricity since early Monday morning, but now they have no water as the pumps are out and are supposed to boil water (with no electricity). Needless to say...
Again, we are OK right now. But please keep people all over in your prayers because so many are hurting from pipes bursting and destroying their homes, from homes catching on fire and dying from carbon monoxide poisoning (I think 18 children were admitted yesterday).
Our area has had around 6-8" of snow and most businesses are closed. There are warming stations set up all around. As the power will let me, I will read your messages as they cheer me up.
Stay warm and take good care of yourself and check on your neighbors. Blessings & Hugs!
I feel so sorry for all the birds and animals that live outside. Everything is frozen solid. Where do birds, horses, etc. get a drink of water? There are so many birds in the trees and at the bird feeder. I am sending to everyone...
OK. I feel sorry for you and especially for myself. I am FREEZING! We lowered the temperature inside by 2 and I don't like it.
