Texas continues its march toward 3rd world status: Day 4 of no power

[RetiredGySgt]

Jesus, you’re being awfully literal today.

This wasn’t even a big storm and it wrecked Texas.

No it did not every hurricane means the affected area is out of power for some for several days EVERY where.

 

[Maxdeath]

Yep.

Funny that you can not even understand English. Point out where in that statement I said that a roof hit a power line.
I said hit another house.
But hey if you are just real stupid you have to lie

So the roof magically evades all the power lines.

So what did knock out the power lines then?

I’m so stupid, I forget.

Is category 1 the biggest hurricane or the littlest hurricane?

doesnt matter a Hurricane level 1 is bad news a hurricane level 4 or 5 is so much worse. are you really so stupid you dont know this?

Texas can’t handle cold weather, hot weather, or storms with its shit power grid. It is an embarrassment to the rest of the nation. No wonder CNBC rated the state as #50 in quality of life. Houston is now the nations 3rd largest city and it has had no power for 4 days. Unprecedented number of people living in the third world. Its people deserve better than the incompetent social justice warrior right wingers who run that state.

I wonder if Ted Cruz has left the state? Im sure the Federal Government will bail them out… again.

CNN —
Half a million Houston-area homes and businesses may not have their power restored until next week amid sweltering summer heat, even as many in the region struggle to access fresh food, air conditioning and safe drinking water.

More than 1 million power customers in southeast Texas – mainly between Galveston and north of Houston – are still without power after Hurricane Beryl hurtled into the Gulf Coast on Monday, leaving at least 10 people dead in Texas, two dead in Vermont and one dead in Louisiana.

The outages have debilitated infrastructure across the region, including hospitals, assisted living facilities and water treatment plants, leading to mounting frustrations from residents that Houston’s main utility, CenterPoint Energy, was not more prepared for the storm.

Yeah.....and Biden continues to allow the russians to shut down hospitals by ransoming their operating systems back to them. What is your point ?

So Texas doesn’t even have building codes to withstand category 1 hurricanes?

Glad I don’t live in that hellhole. I feel bad for those people.

Damn you just get more retarded and lie more to try and cover it up

 

[Marener]

It’s pretty clear you’re talking out your ass and all you can do is just whine.

You keep yammering on about building codes but you have yet to show that you know anything about them other then the word

 

[Maxdeath]

It’s pretty clear you’re talking out your ass and all you can do is just whine.

At least I do not have to lie and pretend I know things I don’t

What takes out NOST utility lines during any of these events is TREES. Falling trees and/or branches are the single largest disruptor of power during weather events… and I’ve been working storms for almost 20 years.

That makes two of us

I’m glad you dont live in Texas too

 

[Marener]

I live in a state with a functional government with normal people.

 

[Mac-7]

I live in a state with a functional government with normal people.

So do Texans

 

[Marener]

At least I do not have to lie and pretend I know things I don’t

In that case, you haven’t said anything useful. Just talking out your ass about what “could” have happened without saying anything about what did happen.

Glad I don’t live in Texas.

 

[Marener]

So do Texans

Not really. Texas is corrupt as hell.

 

[Mac-7]

Not really. Texas is corrupt as hell.

Its not particularly so

Naturally it needs less government, which is the surest way to reduce corruption

But you would be shocked to know how many progressives infest the largest cities

 

[Maxdeath]

In that case, you haven’t said anything useful. Just talking out your ass about what “could” have happened without saying anything about what did happen.

I think everyone in Texas is glad you are not in Texas. You would lower the intelligence by miles and create a lower level of living to the point everyone would be dead in a week
