I live in San Antonio, but am currently 30 minutes north staying in a hotel in New Braunfels. My power went out sometime around 2 AM Monday morning and didn't come back on until almost 3 PM on Tuesday. Since then power has been on for a few hours, off for more hours, on for a few hours ... When power finally came for a little while on Tuesday afternoon the house was well below 50 degrees. We lost water pressure Monday morning, saw it return Monday night, only to lose it again Tuesday morning. It hasn't come back. Before arriving at the hotel this afternoon the last shower we took was Monday afternoon at my son's house when he had power and water. He soon lost both.
A large number of stores and restaurants are closed. Those that are open have incredibly long lines. This is a total failure on the part of ERCOT. Temperatures here will finally start warming up this weekend, hopefully then things will get back to normal - or at least to the way they were before the storm (things haven't been normal across the globe since early last year). I lived through February 2011 in El Paso, with rolling blackouts and concern over the water supply. That was cake compared to this.
