Houston has some wild weather. A relative on Facebook said this is because of climate change and that Houston will have climate refugees one day. I didn't respond.

My daughter in Cypress managed to avoid the power outages from the giant high voltage towers that went down

Wait until they build that 30 million acre wind farm in the gulf off west LA and Texas. To supply power(?) to 11 million. Uh, huh. Roughly 2.5 (+/-) acres per? That doesn’t sound right. Or right.

Oh they are absolute right! In fact back in the day, people blamed the flood on climate change. Noah just rolled his eyes. Sure.

Coming soon to all of us, if the left keeps up their normal science-illiterate, history illiterate, and totally illogical POS practices. There is only one solution - folks, to the problems caused by the left. It’s not pretty, but it’s the ONLY solution. We do, however, have to figure how to safely dispose of the remains.

Cuz democrats are so good at planning for potential disasters like Hurricanes and floods. Last time Houston had anything like this was oh....Harvey in 2017, but that was Trump’s fault and we got rid of him.

Growing up in Houston I picked up the prepper habit as a kid, much as I assume people here from rural areas of hard winter and snow country did.

The uncertain weather in any coastal area is the main reason I’ve never wanted to live in one-hurricanes, floods, tornadoes, etc are frequent enough to keep you on high alert every time the wind gets high or you see a supercell forming, raise insurance rates into orbit, etc. But that weather has always existed in those areas-historical accounts are full of photos and accounts of those events-it isn’t any kind of BS climate change-just out of curiosity, where does your relative live?

Problem # 1, CenterPoint, electrical provide has not provided any information on restoration time frame.

Problem # 2, High Voltage Towers are going to take a longtime to replace (months not weeks). CenterPoint has not been honest with those effected. Those effected will need to make alternate living arrangements.

Problem # 3, I do not believe that the other Transmission lines will be able to replace the lost power. So the summer rolling brown outs are possible.

“A relative on Facebook said this is because of climate change”

They won’t need to worry about Facebook banning them.

They have been properly brainwashed to obey their masters.

Once we stopped sacrificing children to the weather gods, the die was cast.
