    Poor management, there egg heads can not crunch numbers? Power can mean life or death. If aircraft manufacturers designed aircraft the way they designed the grid they would go to jail. Bet the upper management has back up generators at there homes. That tells you something about there confidence but they can afford it with there lavish pay they get.

    I’m In south Arlington
    Power was out for 1 and then power back on for 15 min and that happened for 3 hrs off and on.. mostly off and now I’m completely without power for a total of 4 hours with no on
    That’s about 7-8 hrs with no power
    I’ve called the phone number to report the outage and auto system says no info available as to when I’ll get power
    So much for be patient and don’t panic with seniors in my house
    no live person to contact for help with this
    No power
    No heat
    And no idea when or what I should do other then report it since roads are impossible for me to have any other option
    But keep calm because it will only be for 15-45 min .. yeah right!
    You kept reporting 15-45 minutes
    That is NOT true I was on rolling blackout every 15 min for 1 hour and then now 4 hours after that with no on power
    They took ALL power from a lot of people and didn’t take it from some at all
    I have so many friends that have not lost any power
    How is this being handled correctly??? What am I to do with that many hours with no power or heat!
    4am tues I finally have power. Many days and nights with no power no heat during the worst snow storm in Texas in 30 years. It was brutal and a pretty horrible experience. Scary how much in our lives depends on power
