How it started vs. How it's going

...I'm so glad I drove up to Dallas to stay with my mother, this is ridiculous

Happy #Saturday! I hope you have power back but if you don't I'd love to see you! Take a seat on a sofa, relax on a recliner, charge your devices, we've got coffee, water, a warm smile and GREAT deals! - xoxo Joni #AustinEnergy #WinterFreeze #Austin #ATX

I guess we're going to lose everything but the pickles in our refrigerator, and everything in the freezer, after three days without power. I can't believe the major interactions near my house still don't have working traffic signals. Haven't seen one Austin Energy vehicle in our neighborhood. 220 homes in Skyview without power, no update on timeline for restoration. Mayor Watson, where are you? #Austin #cityfail #austinenergy #austinicestorm #Arborgeddon

Austin Energy and Oncor 😑

Though AE's ratio of providing to outage is pretty wild relative to Oncor.

#atxwx #wtcpua #austinenergy #beecave Please be advised ... PEC has repaired the substation and we are waiting for LCRA to flip the switch so it gets transferred to Austin Energy. Once that happens, power should return to most of our residents. West Travis County PUA water supply shut down due to continued power outage. They hope that with the power back on, they will be back up and running within a few hours.

Ted's on top of things 🤡

Thankfully we will *not* be seeing an absurd 150% increase to the customer charge on our bills from Austin Energy (10 USD/mo to 25 USD/mo; instead it starts at 13 USD/mo and ramps up to 15 USD/mo over a couple years). But our so-called municipally owned energy company and city council still approved a rate design that increases the bills of most residential customers while decreasing the bills of most commercial customers.

I'll take slowing the bleeding, but what we really need is to stop it entirely.
