seriously. Having extra food doesn't make you a prepper - FEMA suggests that everyone should have two weeks of food and water on hand at all times. Preppers measure their stockpiles of food in months or years, and of course have solutions for power / heat / fuel, etc. I personally have 120 gallons of gasoline on hand. Buy the ethanol free stuff, put in fuel stabilizer, and rotate the stock by filling up my cars with the old stuff first. Can get tedious, but I can always run my generator or drive where I need to go.

An alternative is to open the water cold and let it trickle down the drain. When water freezes it expands and if the water is off the the freezing water has no place to expand into. If you open the taps and let them drain then the pressure will not be bad. Do this for hot and cold pipes of course.

@@longfang98 Drywall has its shortcomings, but it does make modifications and renovation much easier. Most American homes use wood frames which has resulted in millions of acres of managed tree farms. While the pine grown in most tree farms isn't as good as old growth wood, it does replace old growth lumber resulting in more sustainable wood. That being said, wood homes can be built to last for centuries. There are many built 100-250 years ago that are still in use. By US standards, that quite old.

I’m really sorry you guys weren’t given a heads up on how to prevent burst water pipes when temps get below freezing. Even with power and heat on in the northeast/midwest we still take precautions when temps get in to the teens such as: a Slow drip, insulate susceptible pipes and/or shut off water to house if power Is out or your leaving for more than a day. EDIT: Many of you have pointed out that some Texans knew to, or did do these things and still had bursts. If you shut water off at street, purge the pressure from the line, there won't be bursts. And if by some weird way pipe does burst, water will not continually pour into the house. If power was off for an extended period, Let the house warm up gradually. Then slowly introduce pressure to the house incrementally, with faucets open. This should help reduce the potential for a burst when re-pressurizing the lines

It was sustainably cold for so long and access to power (or even water to keep running through the pipes) was so inconsistent that it wouldn't have always made a difference. I caught a pipe burst in my own slab despite taking countermeasures. The faucets were under control but a part of my slab foundation still got so cold that ice formed in it and created a pinhole burst. The only thing I could have really done was pre-drained all the plumbing before we had gotten below freezing in the first place. I'm not even sure that would have been sufficient since my burst appears to be down in the slab where some water would have settled regardless. Try to purge it with an air compressor? They don't put secondary shut offs for outdoor faucets into the plumbing here like I remember growing up in upstate New York.

Don't forget the other trick, leave the water running. It prevents the pipes from freezing to the point of bursting. The only issue I heard from this was the drains freezing, but usually in snowy areas, we have everything insulated enough that it won't happen, so I don't know how it would work in the south.

I know it's way after the fact, but as someone in Texas who saw several of the dorms in my college lose power and have pipe bursts, all food options shut down except for a single dining hall that was never meant to serve the whole campus at once, and none of us knowing how to do everyday tasks when there's a foot of snow outside, I'm incredibly thankful for the colder states who gave advice. Normally, when it snows here, the first thing we'd hear is "pssh you got _1 inch_ of snow? Try 8 feet!" but this time, all I ever saw was Northerners (and people from cold regions in general) giving us advice about how to make the most of our clothes layers, how to protect pipes from freezing, how to drive on ice if in an emergency, how to conserve heat in a power outage, etc. _That_ right there made it way better for a lot of us, and we could not be more thankful for y'all's help.

the thing about the power going out, it's not just your fridge that defrosts, it's also the supermarkets, the distribution centres for the frozen and chilled food. also a good tip if the power is out, in freeing weather and no heat, turn the water off and drain the pipes in the house. when the power is back on and you can warm the place back up, you can do a quick and easy leak test before turning the water back on. it can save you a lot of time and expense. just open the highest tap (faucet) and use the lowest to drain. when you allow a lot of corner cutting and as near zero regulation of the power grid, you can expect these things to happen, especially after being warned about it a decade before.

Your thoughts are appreciated. Texas really isn't used to seeing temps this low, and it's been a real eye opener for a lot of people here. Hopefully this has been bad enough to convince gas-fired powerplants to finally winterize properly. We lost a lot of generating capacity because the LNG literally froze in the supply lines. On a more personal note, this was scary. I grew up on the coast and later moved to DFW. I've been through hurricanes, floods, record droughts and tornadoes. Seeing an indoor temp of 28F had me the most concerned about survival I think I've ever been.

Ours thankfully only went off for maybe 2 1/2 hours on just one day of that week(temps, in house, never went under 50F). Plus after shops reopened, it only took a couple days for the local Walmart to be completely ransacked. Aldi was fine though. Winter was gone a couple days after that. Nevertheless, for over a week, there was a solid, thick blanket of pure white, fresh, soft, snow that never turned to mush, so I'm sure there's some kids who had fun.

Now let's be clear, I Do Not disagree with what saxman said. I would use that advice If I lived in a state that sees snow every blue moon and was preparing for a snow storm. I was thinking that it's unrealistic for some people who live in area where it's 32°F or below for 2/3 of the winter season. It's highly unlikely for a single resident who works 50+ hours a week could do this on a daily basis. The ending was added because I am thankful that I'm in a minority of people whose home is occupied 24/7 and can use certain measures to prevent frozen/busted pipes. Also, we have a gas range (only the stovetop is used), water heater, and a fireplace so our pipes aren't much of a concern during blackouts. Ultimately, there must be an alternative to Saxman's solution for daily use.

once ice starts in your pipes, if you don't immediately open valves to compensate for the pressure, everything *will* break, ice can exert upwards of 40,000 PSI on every fitting and joint. My wellhead was freezing up because of the pressure tank. well would activate because i had my usual "it's well below freezing" drip rate going. This drip rate meant that the pressure tank was doing the heavy lifting, and the water in the pipe between the pressure tank and the wellhead was frozen solid. I had to tote a small personal heater out to the wellshed and defrost it. I then turned on a 1/4" stream on the outside spigot, and a smaller stream inside, as well as fully drained my pressurized RO filter so it would contribute to the drippage. Oh and i did all of that when it was -5 wind chill outside. Good times. I don't even own a jacket.

At least it’s not actual floodwater mixed with raw sewage though.

I was transferred away from the Metroplex some years ago, right before I found the 8-bit guy. I really missed the area, until this all went down. My friends back there had to charge their cell phones by car to stay in touch, and warm up. My wife is adamant that our cars have 1/2 tank full as a general M.O., this event lent some credibility to her thinking. Texas will need an influx of skilled trades, especially Plumbers, for the foreseeable future. As a side note, insurance is by definition a hedge against risk shared by many. This event will affect everyone eventually.
