The GREAT TEXAS Gov. DOESN'T let 2 wheels slow him down !
The man's a Saint. Bless him!
Prayers for everyone.
Ice storms are the worst. We had a lot of out-of-state help here in NH when we had a major ice event. It took one week for some people to get their power back on.
Stay safe Team Texas! You guys have some great leadership these other states should take note!
Thank you. God BlessTexas.
Thank you.
❤🙌🙏🙌❤️
Be careful.❤
You have to pre-salt the roads you have to do it when it's below freezing
They've done that in Dallas area. ❤
Florida is having an unusually long cold snap for us. Nothing like the upper south and mid west but cold for us. They have falling snow and we have falling igaunas.
See here where we are in Texas we are used to this kinds of winters
@@sumthing4u65 so… were there really 64 other users with the name “Sumthkng4u?” 😊
Indeed be safe Texas
And slow down when driving!!! There's no reason for people to drive fast other than your inpatients is the issue!
Gov Abbott is a GREAT man lord bless TEXAS ❤❤
Ice is invisible so slow down and use common sense and it doesn't hurt to pray either
I love Greg Abbott.He loves our country and the people in it.
If you can buy a small generator do so
But do NOT place it inside your house or garage and be sure it's not venting into your house through any nearby windows, doors or other openings like vents or pipe/cable openings. Carbon monoxide poisoning is not something to play around with!!! ❤ Praying for all those in the path! ASK for help if you need it!!! 🙏🙏🙏
geo engineering by segments of the military all over the US snd around the world. Chem trails with radio frequencies affect the weather
I know the Dallas Fort Worth area needs to invest in trucks with scoops on the front of them. Kills me that they put it off sighting that they don’t get that bad of weather, but I see states like Hawaii having them. Just sad that the ignorance of the Metroplex has in not being prepared.
Don't you dare talk bad about Texas, leave if you don't like it
From Michigan
Thank you very much Governor Abbott, for your work and concern for Texans. I really, really appreciate your thoughts, your consideration and your actions to protect and provide for Texans. I think you are the best, most capable and caring governor in the US. Thank you. And, thank you for mentioning Beryl. I was without power for 5 days, and I really did not understand why. I was home during the time that Beryl blew through and the winds at my house were not that high. They did blow part of my fence down…but it was 30 years old and needed to be replaced anyway. But, the fact remains that I was very disappointed that my subdivision lost power for 5 days, for what I considered minor impact winds in my area. My 20 year old roof was find. And, CenterPoint never provided us with why we lost power for 5 days. I am not impressed with them at all., Just excuses…no real accountability. I lost all my food except for canned goods. It was sad. I think CenterPoint needs to be investigated and their lack of response and preparedness should be understood and addressed. Again, thank you very much for your care and concern,🙏
Texas I hope you are using salt
They've said in previous years that it's a mix of salt & sand.
@@donnagarner6007 well that could be the problem because only salt works when it comes to ice ask anybody that lives up north
@@richjacobs9736
Salt is the best treatment for ice that’s formed on the road, but it’s beneficial to apply what we use up here in Iowa to try to keep the roads open. We use brine which is a liquid salt mixture that is applied to dry roads well before the storm, this dries and leaves the roads white, when the snow or ice falls on it it reactivates this mixture turning it back the liquid, as long as the snow plows keep plowing, the roads are manageable, unless the temperatures dive below zero or we get an overwhelming amount of snow. We also use calcium chloride which has the same effect but it sure does rust the vehicles up here. Stay safe!
@@michaelloomis8762 I'm from Iowa and Texas is not used to this kind of weather. I have been in Texas for many years now and it makes me happy that they are taking action to pretreat the roads. I noticed on the way home from work the other night that the roads had been sprayed. Hopefully this storm comes and goes without too much damage or chaos.
@
Drive and stay safe. Definitely stay home if it’s too bad.
Definitely our great governor greg Abbott our no nonsense governor who is doing a great job i know i live in the Alamo city of San Antonio Texas 🙏🙏🙏💯👍
You have to spray the roads with salt when you have ice
Texas doesn’t have that many salt trucks outside of cities. The thing to do is stay off the road unless there’s an emergency and it can’t be avoided.
We don't use salt like northern state because we really only have around 2 to 3 days that's bad.
@@Fiona2254
I’m from Iowa and have trucked through Texas for decades, you are correct about not many snow plows unless you go over by Amarillo, they actually get more snow than we do in Iowa. Up north we treat the roads with calcium chloride and a liquid salt mixture that is applied well before the storm hits. It dries on the road then the precipitation reactivate it which helps keep the roads manageable for a while but temperatures is everything, if it gets below zero it starts to get tricky and this mixture sure rust the hell out of the vehicles up here. Stay safe, and try to stay home.
@@texast9605
About 20 years ago I ran in ice between Austin and San Antonio, Texas dot was actually spreading coal dust and sand on only bridges and overpasses, not the roads because their supply was limited. Listening to this they just said that they do use salt brine which we use in iowa, we also use calcium chloride, both of these mixtures will rust the hell out of an automobile. Stay safe Texas!
More power for A-I .!!
A great governor
hes a HORRIBLE Gov
I wished NC had a Governor much like yourself. We still have a county without heat, our governor does nothing. Great work Mr.Abbott
I'm glad they are taking action to pretreat the roads to help prevent accidents as much as possible. As bad as the winter storm of 2021 was, it seems to have impacted our politicians to actually do their jobs and I'm grateful for that. I pray this storm comes and goes without too much damage or chaos.
Why is a response needed? Two years ago Abbott announced that the electric grid was completely fault tolerant and redundant. No more power outages ever! 👍🏽😎 🇺🇸
Trump showed the way. Media coverage no matter what leads to the White House. It's a game politics plays, then blames the media.
@ - This was essentially a weather report. I’m still lost on the reason, unless what you are saying is ‘this makes it apparent to all that Abbott is in control and helping Texans?’
You can still get power lines down from ice.
🥶🥶🥶
Hey! It's winter!! So what's new here???🤔😵💫🤕🤪😭
Some people have PTSD from last artic freezing, where they lost power for several days. That is what is new.
@fgutie35 lol lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I'm from the North Land!! We get -40f days for weeks on end,! You are acting like a bunch a little cry babies! Get off your rear end get the equipment needed get the DOT to get out quickly salt sand the roads get your power system headed like the many tens of thousands of miles we have done it to! Goodness you sound like cry babies!!!🤔😕
Is Texas pre-treating any of their roads with beet juice??? They use that around here and it really helps in addition to other measures.
so cali is burning and texas is freezing and.. what is goin pn in the us? r u guys ok??😮
I could tell you… But then I’d sound like a conspiracy theorist. 😂
I'm thinking prospectively and ambitiously towards territorial gains this coming year' militias may take off just yet.
I wish we could scoop up any extra and transport it to California!!!
This happens. Santa Ana winds are just a bish, especially when homeless people were spotted trying to light fires. It’s sad but not a first. The jet stream dips happen too. I’m sure this has happened at the same time before.
Drill baby drill, who cares about the weather!
Gov. Abbott exemplifies how a qualified leader manages.
Riiight...
Oncor ignored being told for MONTHS that a tree was down and hanging from a line and had the line almost on the ground. Only when it finally broke the line was a crew sent to cut the tree.
Now he's a good governor along with DeSantis! Not like Newsom!!
Greg Abbott does nothing. Get him out please.
Governor Abbott never puts public safety first, why claim that now??
do anyone remember the lady that wanted to get a doughnut ? :)
Thankfully, not even one messykan by that table. Plz, keep it white.
Salt is a solution and it is really really cheap
Why can't you all have stereo setup jeez
He didn’t do anything the last time smh 🤦♀️ he left us out here bad 😂 luckily I am from the north so it don’t really bother me but the fact they left us out here bad the last time I don’t fuck with Greg abbot he not right period
Get on the icy road and slide north my friend!..
Dont let Ted Cruz run off to Cancun again.
He not gone do shit
I'm surprised they're not in Cancun
this guy is always sitting down… so rude and entitled
Are you kidding! He’s paralyzed from the waist down! He’s wheelchair bound!
Are you rude or just ignorant? Our Governor is in a wheelchair. ❤
At least his doing his job and not sleeping or on vacation ❤
@@wk8000that was crazy😂❤
I had to give you a thumps up because you noticed ❤😂
Can people stop sucking up to Greg Abbott? He is an absolute failure and failed at this four years ago.
LIAR
Are you high or something?? Abbott is a true leader! Not woke🎉
You mush be a Dem or from California go home
I agree with you. He’s so corrupt and his cronies are just taking so much away from Texans that citizens of Texas are either ignorant or just don’t care that they get very little out of their governor.
@ you’re a fool if you actually believe that, I actually happen to be a citizen of the state of Texas so yes I can say that man was a failure four years ago at the same problem
