Same. All meetings today cancelled “due to rolling blackouts.” That’s a new one.

It’s crazy

Texas just decided to take the day off

Yup, lewisville area

In Lewisville as well but haven’t had an outages yet.

Yep, design district area. Without power now for about 6 hours or so. Flashed on briefly around 10:30 but then went off again right as we got the damn coffee maker turned on.

Energy prices spiked up to $9000/mWh (30-40 normally). Expect rolling blackouts for a few days.

Still have power in Dallas area. But pipe is definitely frozen even after the prep work I did. Don't even know where it is frozen at this point.

We have a pipe frozen in a brand new house. Toilet against an exterior wall will happen with -15 degree wind chills

Houston here. 10 hours so far of no power, no heat. We've been told it will be at least all day & maybe longer

I did. But just got it back now

Rural SE Collin County here. We had like 2-3 second long blackouts several times per hour last night from like 8-12 (power plant puttering out maybe?) then nothing since. I’m guessing we won’t be rolling blackoutted on account of being two doors down from the local public safety complex.

Cable did go out for like 30 minutes earlier though, I’m guessing the headend got rolling blackoutted

Yep - about 45 min on then 45 min off since about 2am

I have about $750K total investments and very close to $2M net worth, but realize that I am behind on investments if I want to do FIRE. I was focused on paying off huge chunks of my mortgage and managed to whittle it down to $75K left. Would you suggest I go ahead and pay that off this year? Or pause and do a mega back door roth instead? I’m mid 40s. Thanks!
