A. You are not wrong. B. All the damn trees knocking out power lines everywhere. Beryl just said fuck you to all the cedars and live oaks.

Not even a strong one - you give ERCOT too much credit.

Weird they fucked up a pretty big detail that Beryl had grown back into a Cat 1 by the time it hit the Texas coast.

Came here to say this. Still without power…not that a TS wouldn’t do that, but that was a long fucking night and it’s hot and I am tired so here I am, internets. Sorry.

I’m stuck without power too.
Let’s hope they get both of ours back on before the height of the heat today.

While innocents dying is tragic, I really can’t feel very sorry for anyone who sticks it out in disaster-prone areas. Especially when said disasters are exacerbated by their idiotic political choices in said states. I’m reminded of one lady who rebuilt her home in Florida 3 goddamn times after subsequent hurricanes. Like dude, fucking move inland. If you insist on staying in a Red, hick State, Tennessee has elevation on its side at least.
