Dear Webster City Residents,
Only those north of Main St. and east of 4th st are allowed to use their George Foreman grills today. We will be rotating the quadrants over the next few days to make sure each resident has access to delicious indoor grilled meats.
Sincerely,
Mayor of Webster City
LES(Lincoln Electrical System) is a part of SPP(Southwest Power Pool). Some of western and nw Iowa is also. It runs from Oklahoma up to the Canadian border through Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakota's. My wife's brother lives in Omaha and they are a part of SPP also and they haven't been affected yet. Since SPP ordered LES to do the rolls......I would think unless they order other local utilities the same it won't happen.
Yea. Usually electric heat.
don't do you any good right now.But a huge issue is the water pipes. Apartments may be fine but lots of people have the water come in the garage.
We missed power for 7 days after the little derecho in August. At least we didn't have to worry about frozen pipes. Hang in there.
Ya my thought was it might be electric I spent 4 months living in houston with an aunt who had health issues but it was during the summer.Yea. Usually electric heat.

Good Lord, I never said anything about having to love them.
Wasn't it Stephen Stills that sang "If you can't be with the one you love....love the one you're with "?

Rolling blackouts starting in Kansas City. Apparently this area is also part of the SPP.

It's officially starting to get cold in my apartment now. I know you're not supposed to drink but I cracked one open. Don't know what else to do. Got my longjohns on and a sweater.
Might pull out my zero degree sleeping bag for the night. Already called off work tomorrow

What's the point of rolling blackouts and conserving power when it's -10 outside? Yeah sure I'll shut off my heat and freeze, sounds like a solid plan.
Have an ex coworker in Texas that is slowly building towards panic mode based on the tone of his social media posts. This is the same person that can’t comprehend people dying, etc when extreme heatwaves hit northern places and other severe weather and has at times mocked some of the news stories on social media. People are rightfully showing true concern and empathy for their family at the moment. His past social media posts aren’t aging well.
