Donβt use a gas oven to heat your home or run your car in the garage
Carbon monoxide kills you so quick. Please all do not do this.
Drip both hot and cold on all faucets + open the cupboards that house the pipes because if you donβt your pipes will burst and youβll have massive flooding.
Iβm bringing this around again because itβs getting cold in some places and Iβve been getting things to prepare for if we get another freeze in a few months. Since then, the official death toll of the freeze sits at 210, while Buzzfeed reported in May that the true count is likely much higherβ around 700. It also caused one of the worst mass carbon monoxide poisonings in recent US history.
I have very little faith that Governor Abbott has done βall that needs to be doneβ to protect the grid and itβs weighing on me as we get closer to winter.
