I mean you don't have to. We typically don't bury them in Florida. But important power lines are held up by thick metal or concrete poles.
Canada laughs in wooden poles
More like Canada laughs in not getting hit by hurricanes
Well most of Canada, New Brunswick and Nova Scota get hit by the tails of hurricanes
That’ll show dem liebrals.
Yeah I still don’t understand this one. They separated their states power from the rest of the power grid because… liberal hate? That doesn’t add up to me but then what little I know of Texas never adds up. Outside of some owning the libs rhetoric what the fuck reason did they do that for??
supposedly, it's because Texas wants to be as independent as possible various articles I've found tend to agree. Also because fuck federal regulations I guess. I dunno, fuck Texas.
2024 Gulf Coast Spin the Bottle is off to a spicy start.
Remember, this is because god hates you and nothing to do with climate change. If we can just do away with NOAA, we wouldn’t have Hurricanes anymore.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Hundreds of thousands of southeast Texas residents are entering the sixth day in a row suffering brutal heat without air conditioning and many are scrambling to find cool shelters, food, safe drinking water and health care resources.
Pregnant Houston resident Jordyn Rush, 32, worries for her health as the intense heat deprives her of sleep and her fridge sits empty while the outage drags on, making life difficult as she prepares to undergo a C-section in 12 days.
In Fort Bend County, a neighboring suburb to Houston, more than 41 people suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, Judge KP George said at a news conference Friday.
“The combination of severe heat and limited access to electricity is dangerous, especially for vulnerable populations and those relying on electricity-dependent durable medical equipment and certain healthcare services,” said Dawn O’Connell, Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response, in a news release.
CrowdSource Rescue, a nonprofit primarily serving as a search-and-rescue group, identified roughly 120 senior living facilities that need assistance and helped deliver generators and supplies to 16 so far.
A dozen Houston area hospitals are in a state of “internal disaster” and more than 40 dialysis clinics are struggling with outages, Texas Emergency Management Chief Nim Kidd said in a news conference Thursday.
