I can say that I called @austinenergy about this time (9p) yesterday to be certain that they were aware of a pole fire across the street from me. The surly person talked over me and insisted they were aware.i

Did AE know about THAT one? That it torched up when they tried to energize us Thursday nite?
Why NO!!
They DID NOT KNOW that the pole had gone up in flame, lighting the neighborhood for several blocks!
Who could have guessed that I'd been LIED TO by the customer service person?
Me and my pearls be clutching up real hard now!

@BucyForTexas how do those of us in the 136th dispose of our brush?
Specifically, those of us not in COA, nor Round Rock, not Cedar Park?
Further, we've got neighbors burning their brush and nothing can be done about it!! Since we've no power, this smoke is blanketing us!

I'd ping Terri Cookbut she's no longer using her Twitter account and I don't use FB. Obviously her office is closed.

What's breaking me is the lack of information.
That our lives are on hold.
That others are returning to normal - if they ever veered off course at all.
And all we get is indifference.
Living in ETJ means nobody gives a crap about helping my neighborhood.

My outage of 168 has been dark since 2/1 @ 04:20. All other outages have been since the last 36hrs or so.

Families with 3 grade schoolers
Family with a toddler, a 1yr old

We went 5+ days in the dark with Uri. Then 2+ days no water.
Is it because we're ETJ?
In Wilco?
What?
We don't even have a place to dispose of all the debris because of our status as nobody's is my only conclusion.

Notice that 78757 began today at 1,775, is now 894 and has fallen by 881.
Who wants to bet that 78757 will fall below 78729 overnight?
I'd also bet that 78729 climbs tomorrow. We need 3 pole replacements. @austinenergy

Just as I said in tweet number one, we'll be first out and last in.
Niether @austinenergy or @austintexasgov has been bothered to account for we who pay ETJ taxes, school taxes, etc, but don't get any upkeep of the few public services we do get.
Tomorrow = #PowerOutDay8

Just saw a story on @KXAN_News with @AusPublicHealth & Adrienne Stirrup. She said they went door to door in the hardest hit areas per @austinenergy to ask what folks needed to recover from this storm.

Well, now I know WHY there are none of these help centers north of 78758 -- because @austinenergy has ignored us for a week.
Ms. Stirrup, we in 78729 and surrounding areas need help TOO.
How about one of these centers up here?
@AusPublicHealth my nearly 90 tweets are proof.

Now, I am giving major credit to @CenterPoint. They walked my neighborhood late yesterday and then arrived on my street this morning like locusts.
So did @Asplundh_Tree and @GetSpectrum.
Together, they were, and still are, working to return us to civilization.

About 30 minutes ago, @CenterPoint tried energizing the primary line, but more transformers blew. ☹️
They're working 6a-10p and @Asplundh_Tree till 8p (I believe), so they're trying really hard!
One lineman said this neighborhood had the worst electrical damage he'd seen.

I don't expect we'll get power tonight, but my fingers are crossed for tomorrow.
Meantime, this is how we've been loving on these highly skilled and hard-working crews.
And it will stay out till these crews go home.

And since they are doggedly still working, we still have this out for the @CenterPoint crews.
We hope they take the opportunity to tend to themselves with the hot drinks. They deserve to engage in self-care, even now.

We are lucky to have had the credit to buy a small generator, and we're trying to care for those who left their homes and families to help us.
By no means could we afford the things we've been forced to buy to camp in our own home. We'll be paying on it for a while. 😡

The @CenterPoint crew is still up the street at 11pm. #Impressed
They are at least no longer on the problematic pole and hopefully headed in for the night.
Tomorrow, gentlemen (and the one lady line worker!), tomorrow. 🤞🤞🤞
