Not a chance in hell. Solar and electric are too "woke" for Texas.
Nearly a million people in Houston without power due to storm
- Thread starter Big Tex
- Start date
Facts. Houston is barely allowed to have substandard buses and light rail.
Damn
Know too many now without power. At least 7 peeps I've heard from.
Told them come thru if needed be but I really feel like this won't be a quick fix seeing how many of them major lines were down.
Of all the past storms, can't recall major power lines being down. I remember regular lines and transformers, but the major supply lines all over houston is crazy.

Something I never want to see up close and personal in my life
I generated wind reports from this storm system that passed through Houston and New Orleans.
78 mph wind was reported in Houston, and 84 mph was reported in NO.

Weatherman.
None of the weather reports are really confirming tornados. They saying it was straight line winds that caused the damage. 120mph winds 2000 feet from the ground.

Houston, what the heck happened on Thursday?
In brief: There will be some showers this morning south and east of US-59 to the coast. Some thunder is possible. No severe weather is expected. The rest of the forecast through Monday and Tuesday …

There was a story earlier this week about the FERC that isn’t appropriate for this thread because Texas doesn’t have electric lines that leaves its border.
What is "Crip Daddy" doing about it down there?
Solar panels and 3 Powerwalls here. As long as the sun continues to rise, we’re fine.
Yeah, if the sun don’t rise, we have bigger problems

I got a 500W inverter and a 50 foot extension cord. When the power goes out I hook them up to the car and run it into my bedroom window. It powers the TV, cable/internet box and desk light. In the garage I have a 1400 watt generator still new in the box for the pass 3 years
@Flawless would have been the last holdout with t his steam engine if this was back in the day! Lmao "these damn kids and their electric cars!" Energy.
I believe this. Wife sent me that tiktok I posted above with the tornado vid and I haven't seen anyone say they actually saw one touch down. Someone may of taken a vid from somewhere else and said it was Houston for likes.None of the weather reports are really confirming tornados. They saying it was straight line winds that caused the damage. 120mph winds 2000 feet from the ground.

Not even on radar was there an indication of a tornado. It was a clear and very power “bow echo” which is straight line winds.
Shit was crazy last night and this storm seemed to come out of nowhere.
A lot of people have down trees, fences, electric towers, etc. right now.
Thankfully, our part of town was spared from the worst but I've never seen a non-hurricane storm like that here in Houston.

Every fucking time Texas has some storm there is a blackout, so are telling me once more people are driving EV's Texas will finally fix the power grid issue to accommodate everyone driving electric cars and their homes at affordable prices? Oh yeah I forgot in this perfect future everyone will drive $100k vehicles with the upgraded battery spec that can power their house.
I told people that the abnormal temperatures in the oceans is causing a lot of these severe weather /flooding events across the world. This is why hurricane season may be a bitch this year.
You need electricity to power the pumps at gas stations….
Burn! You got me bro.
Numbers are coming down
Now 684k without power.

My daughter jjust got power back in her apartment.
Wife's mom still has none, she has solar panels and that is providing no power, thought she would get some kind of juice from that, which is why I suspect they are a waste in instances like this.
Now 684k without power.

When I had my EV charger installed in my garage, they also ran 240V wiring back to a Generac neutral switching transfer switch that is wired to my main 200 amp breaker panel for the whole house. When an outage happens, I can plug my truck up to the switch, and the whole house runs from my electric F-150. I've run the house in an outage that only lasted for just over 5 hours and that 5 hours took my battery from 72 percent, to 71. I've been waiting for an outage that lasts longer, just to see how efficient this system works. We love it though.
