Its funny, but the power linemen never have these issues because they just pull the fuses and work on unenergized lines. Its the telco teams that need to operate near live power. And the pay and bennies are pretty good for a high school diploma.

You would think following simple safety rules to prevent a date with Mr. Sparky would be a no-brainer but...newp.

Police officers guard dumpsters, face off with residents seeking discarded food
Roughly a dozen Portland police officers faced off with a small group at a Northeast Portland Fred Meyer on Tuesday after people tried to take food that had been thrown away.

I imagine lot of people in TX are looking for water. Lot of places under a boil notice. Plus the lack of water due to busted pipes and distribution problems. You can melt snow to use in the toilet, if you have power. If.
Surprised my grandmother lost about an hour of electricity the whole time. Very rural on co-op power. They normally loose power pretty often from tree limbs. Got down to just above zero. No water shortage either. She's on community water now but kept the well after getting the community stuff a year or two ago. The co-op only covers the counry and a small strip of the adjacent county. Not sure how their contracts to get power work.

My dad -- stint in Navy -- sent me this and said "In case we get called up"
It is actually pretty damn interesting -- oh yes we operate fucking everywhere my friends.
edit: it is a real remedy to how whacked civilian life is. For example, here is a perfectly sensible paragraph from the introduction:
Thank you. That is so refreshingly clear and to the point. And, that is some sweet shade slipped in there. Well done.

I could not be more angry right now, at almost everyone. Just spent a night with very little food in a 40 degree house after spending hundreds to have trees trimmed to prevent transmission issues that were within my control only to be subject to the weather as a result of stupid human policies outside of my control. What the absolute fuck is this bullshit: Interview with TPPF’s Katie Tahuahua On The Texas Winter Storm Energy Crisis « Lawrence Person's BattleSwarm Blog
I have lived through freezes and ice storms, etc and never did we have any issues with power until this solar/wind/Green BS took off. This pernicious feelgood bullshit isn't going to matter, if it did China wouldn't be building coal plant after coal plant. Keep your Green Virtue signaling out of my Texas, thanks.
Edit: We don't have a whole home generator and had to give up our gas appliances during our home elevation due to permitting issues, giant FU to the City and an Inspector with a grudge, along with 75 miles of Bureaucratic Bullshit.
