Thanks, Jim.
I really dont want to make the 30 hour drive, but if she freezes her pipes, I'll have to go there to fix everything anyways.... As stated, if someone else can fly, I'll buy one for them as well. ETA "Cheesecakers"?

Our power has been out in Hutto since 2:30am with no eta of coming back on. |

I just spoke with someone at Pflugerville Home Depot, and was told that they are all sold out.
I have 2 here for all the good that does... |

Apparently the archives are gone. Maybe some of you guys post a cheesecake pic or two?
SurfAnimal, Cheesecakers are a rare and special breed who gather in the spring and fall not far from Austin. We are not a cult. (That is the official disclaimer) |

Just about anything that makes more warmth than a 40 watt light bulb has been snatched up around most cities in Texas.
There are LARGE quantity of people without any light or heat tonight - may be the waking & making of some Preppers? |

Was out and about with the Mrs today tending to her horse, no trouble at all getting around in 4hi.
Only thing I saw open between Cedar Creek and Luling were just gas pumps. Walmart, Tractor Supply, Harbor Freight in Bastrop were all closed. Heaters are wiped out just about everywhere in the Austin area that I checked a couple of days ago. If I had a heater to give or where to get one to her, I would. |

Thanks guys. I'm going to sit tight and finish up a few things here that need finished if I gotta leave.
If things do not improve for her in the next few hours, I'll be taking a roadtrip. If I go, I'll be buying 2 new kero heaters and a Honda invertor genny HERE. Along with some bottled water, kerosene, and gas. My truck can get through anything and I'll be glad to do what I can for anybody down there once Liz is squared away. I'll know by early tonight whether or not I'm going, but as it sits now, I'm regretting that I didn't leave yesterday... |

She has basically talked me out of driving down now. With unplowed roads for a hundred miles in any direction, that SEEMS like a smart idea, but me, I'm thinking I could heat the house and prevent pipes from bursting, and unneeded suffering . For now, I guess I'm staying put, and just worrying.

Same boat as Nutro way south and sorry I missed this. Assumed the alert was about my membership expiring next month.
After the chaos of all the retail places today I would bet there is not a heater to be found in town. Will cross my fingers the power stays on. Mine has been out for 32 hours. |

Guys - I've been without power and water since 3am Monday morning. My power came on just about 30 minutes ago. My house has been at about 42-45 degrees for the better part of that time and my phone internet was almost nonexistent so needless to say this is my first time on Arfcom since then. We still don't have water in much of Pflugerville but the city said they're tuning it back on so I have my fingers crossed (and praying that my pipes didn't burst). The roads are absolute hell. The snow wasn't too terrible but last night's freezing rain has totally fucked things up. I had to fight like hell to move my truck 10 feet to get it out from under the live oak that's drooping and threatening to crash on it.
I was able to head to Home Depot on Monday and picked up a repair hose I needed. Needless to say, nothing that has anything to do with providing heat or fuel is in stock ANYWHERE from what I've been hearing through the neighborhood pipeline. I ran my refrigerator and my freezer off of my generator for the last two days or so - that little unit is going to get a Hero of the Zhukov Dacha award when this is all over! I might be in a better position to try and help anyone that needs it tomorrow depending on what the roads look like. My thermostat is still showing it's only 53 degrees in here... |
