That photo of downtown Dallas is beautiful. I'm in Austin and we're OK. The "rolling blackouts" never really rolled anywhere; they just turned off power for 40% of town. The other 60% never lost power at all. For most of us, it's been more annoying than anything else. Some of our hospitals are without water and that's bad.
If I can hear the fluid trickling around in my trainer at low speed, is that bad? Putting my Atlantis on a trainer is probably a sin, but I'm desperate and it's going to be a few more days before the trail is clear.
