The DU Lounge
Showing Original Post only (View all)This is bad. UPDATE 02-16-21 [View all]
Internet is very spotty, but I have a little right now, so I thought I would update the Lounge.
We made it through the night. Still no power. No running water. We have food and bottled water. The minivan is keeping us warm. We have 3/4 of a tank of gas.
Were bored but safe for the moment. Lots of snow expected tomorrow. We wont be above freezing until Friday.
Thank you all for the thoughts, suggestions, and good vibes.
-Laelth

Laelth's life sounds like ours. We have several members in Texas. I'm sure we're all in the same

The next thing is to keep snow and ice away so there isn't any heaving that could stress caulk.
