I'm watching the City of Austin press conference:
Judge Andy Brown says today's ice storm made roads incredibly dangerous, so please stay home if possible.
(Here is a list of the various shelters, some are for warming, some are for staying the night

Today we need to talk about water. We are using 300 million gallons on water, which is more than we've ever seen. We need to not use major appliances and not run water.
We are also calling for volunteers. The city's website has a form you can fill out if you are able to help
A: Austin has more areas that include hospitals and critical areas, that needed power to stay on. We maxed out and had no ability to rotate because nobody could be cut
A: I can't give you what the impact is right now because we buy energy from @ERCOT_ISO. But there will be impacts.
A: we have to shut off large blocks of power and can't shut off meters one by one. We don't have technology to do that.
One main break was in Circle C, which is why SW Austin is struggling with water today.
@AustinWater : If you have gas you can boil that way. But if you have an electric stove, you'll need bottled water or other liquids to do this.

The Manatee-Sarasota area has many connections to the horrific scene of insurrection in Washington DC yesterday. Want to see? Buckle up for this thread: /1
The Manatee GOP expressed support for Josh Hawley’s objections to certification of the electoral college vote. /2
Josh Hawley’s home-state newspaper says Hawley has blood on his hands for a “Capitol coup attempt.” This is who the Manatee GOP cheered on.
Florida GOP Vice Chair & Sarasota County Commissioner Christian Ziegler was at the protest, as described in this @HeraldTribune article.
The protest was led by the same people connected to Ziegler who were filming outside the Vern Buchanan town hall at the Van Wezel in Sarasota in 2017, namely Dustin Stockton. Stockton was also part of Steve Bannon's border wall group. /5
