    @ai6yr 16 hours no power so far. Not sure why, we're right next to refineries, and all power lines are buried. Far East side of Houston

    Washington post reports a total of 10 transmission towers were toppled, and that restoring power to everyone may take weeks.

    Which is bad given the weather prediction for high heat & humidity.

    The inset NYT story on climate change fueling the catastrophic Texas wildfires somehow manages to not mention that it's Texan fossil fuels causing climate change.

    Giant hail in Blanco County TX just now. Noise on the metal roof was off the charts. Never seen or heard anything like it. Lost the windshield on my truck. My farmhand reports that the hail made an actual HOLE in the roof of his bunkhouse. Apocalyptic.
