This is really bad news for NM as we are having natural gas issues because of the rolling brownouts in western TX.
Just in Albuquerque they’ve set up shelters for people without a way to heat their home and all the schools are closed in an effort to save utilities; the governor sent home non-critical state employees early and has asked them not to come in tomorrow. They requested everyone turn down their thermostats and turn off any unnecessary electrical items. With the record cold we’re having there are many people without a way to heat their homes in NM.
I realize a lot of folks have it worse, but this is really bad news for NM where a state of emergency has been declared. Plus all the TX folks w/o electricity. What a mess.
Wow...I had no idea about the NG issues there..
I just certainly hope people get foolish and start heating inappropriately... i.e. charcoal grills etc. Happens almost every year here in Wa State. I think 7 people died last year.
