[QUOTE="MODAT7, post: 237451, member: 13649"] I live in the DFW area and was tortured by 34 rotating 1 hour blackouts for 3 days as they called them, except they were longer than 1 hour. Since I don't breathe when I'm unconscious, I have to sleep with an artificial ventilator. I got a handful of half hour naps over 3.5 days. The whole thing ripped me apart and nearly killed me. By Wednesday pre-dawn morning, I was woken up from a half nap by the power going out again and suffocating. That time I was so out of it that I didn't know who I was, where I was, or when I was. It was just a silent blackness. It took me a few minutes to figure out I could move. The water main break coming from Fort Worth also dropped water pressure a lot. I was afraid I had a pipe break in the house until I heard the news. Thankfully I had enough sense on Monday to know something stupid would be on top of all this and filled up a bunch of 1 gallon jugs before the water main break. My neighborhood never fully lost water, but we were under boil warnings for a week. My water never got muddy, but I used my ozone bubbler to sterilize the water I used to wash my hands and such. All this made me go out and get some food grade 5 gallon buckets for emergency use. It's easy to add a replacement spigot to the bottom for easy use. I also picked up a ceramic water filter and mounted it in another 5 gallon bucket. On the flip side... The past couple weeks we've had some very hot weather (100f or higher) from a high pressure system that got stalled on top of us. Water levels are getting low in the area, but mostly not critical. A small county east of Dallas ran out of water, but only for a little while. Last time we got rain here was June 6. There are a lot of problems with grass fires since everything is so dry. A July 4th fireworks show was stopped because it started fires in the nearby grass. There was some drone footage of the grass burning in the darkness that looked kinda neat.
