'Rolling blackouts'...what a [BLEEP] joke.  That's what they are SUPPOSED to be doing to prevent what is happening to me.  I'm at about 28 hours without power.  From what I understand, we're the worst in the DFW area.  

We have been able to stay warm.  I have the fireplace cranking and the previous residents had a son who was a paraplegic.  It caused him to have trouble regulating his body heat, so they have a little natural gas heater installed in the master bedroom.  We keep the door closed and go in when we need to warm up or are ready to go to sleep.

At least the bitter cold us supposed to end today.  We had a high of 11 yesterday and It's supposed to get to 25 today.  Hell, it's going to be 70 next Wednesday.

Thank god you have those things to keep you warm! My girlfriend updated me last night that their power has been off more than on now, and when it’s on it’s flicking on and off constantly. She’s got two little birds that she’s been huddling with with keep them warm when the power is off. She’s got a space heater in her bedroom that she blasts up high to try to keep it warm during the times the power is down. 
I hope you get your power back very soon!
