    Things are starting to get scary serious

    Just spent an hour driving around Nacogdoches trying to find gas and there is none. I have three and a half 5 gallons cans left at the house that are full and fixing to have to make the decision on whether to put gas in the truck or keep the generator running. I will put a one can in the truck and save the rest for the generator and try again tomorrow finding gas.

    the wife says the co-op isn't answering the phone so we have no idea how long it will be before power is restored.

      My brother is on Deep East, and they’re saying it could be 3 weeks before everything is repaired.
      I live in the NW part of the county near Cushing and am on Oncor, and my generator has been running since Monday at 11am.

      I’m down to 30+/- gallons in cans and am starting to ration it.

          You just need to hold out another day or two, the refineries and racks are starting to reopen. We are just now getting our first couple of loads today.

            I've got an Aggie buddy who's an optometrist in Nac. They live outa town, but I'm pretty sure he's prepared. Think I'll check in on him. Prayers for all who are still struggling through this deep freeze.

              If I was closer I’d bring you 50 gallons that I don’t need

              Hope everything turns out ok

                My neighbor drove to San Antonio on Saturday, took 30 hours, they checked into their hotel which has no water and took them 3 days to find food. He is now low on diesel and cannot find a gas station with any. Our local Ag dept was supposed to leave today and was going to take him several containers of fuel, but the opted not to go due to this next round of snow.

                  I hear you. Dang if do Dang if don’t. We’re starting to get those rolling blacks here to and we are east of you guys. Lucky to have a portable generator and some other things to help out. Just praying our water co. keeps the well running. But my Heart still breaks seeing and reading stories of what’s happening over there. Cannot imagine going this long with out power and water busted water lines inside there houses interior. Sounds like another front coming. Praying for you guys to make it through this.

                      Russ, my father in law got gas at the station on the corner of Old Tyler rd and the loop. A friend said he heard stations all over town are starting to get trucks in, but there are lines.
