WTF. The electric company in Texas doesn't have a map of outages so people have been using the Whataburger App to figure out who lost power.
This is like when Homer was using the Krusty Burger map when they got lost at sea.

Call me a liberal nutcase, but maybe spend less time booby-trapping the Rio Grand and more time bringing your state up to the standards we’d have expected at the turn of the millennium?
Yet here are Texans putting up with the calamitous power grid in disaster after disaster.
What's wrong with y'all?

I received that info from someone who uses that professionally to check outages all over the country all the time. I trust that over what this dude sent to me it's just not worth arguing over
(my tiny electric co-op has an excellent system, including text and email notifications)
Shut the fuck up, Yankee. Nobody asked you, and you don’t know enough to have a relevant opinion.

Fucking hilarious if true
Republicans are not going to do shit. They'll blame the D mayor of Houston.

They deserve your ire, not Houston.
We don’t tell y’all how to fix the MTA, or eat food with flavor in it.
I'm so tired of folks who don't live here pointing and heckling about how "backwards and stupid" the south is.
I live in GA and got gerrymandered out of our very competitive district. We're not as ruby-red as everyone thinks; we're severely disenfranchised.
(Apologies for the cut off alt text. No relevant information was lost.)
Thank god we run the electrical grid for profit, it works so well.
oncor, aepn, tnmp have outage maps
I swear that some execs need to get burned out of their houses.

But Whataburger is native Texan. 🙂
none inside the loop, one inside the beltway
so they may be a decent indicator in parts
likely more density from the Whataburger places
I don't know what company distributes the Houston area.
Red states do so very little for ordinary citizens, they prefer serving big business
Oh, Texas. Sounds about right.
That's not a good thing!!
it's all math!
But that's it. That's all I remember. But I moved away in 89.
Basically all power gets sold to ERCOT and electricity providers buy from ERCOT. Most electricity providers don't even have infrastructure but are just trading firms. So when power goes out, they outsource.
