How Texans have coped without water in US heat wave

A water outage has affected about 165,000 people in the western city of Odessa.

I guess they got tired of reporting on California’s 20 year water shortage. We need some media to make Texas look bad though. Helps keep the liberals out.

Is Odessa still part of Texas? I thought we gave that back...

Hey now. Odessa can be nice and friendly. I visit almost every week. Wouldn't you rather do something about Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio... before being rude to decent West Texas folk?

Actually, I thought the article was pretty good. Glad to see the folks in Odessa doing ok & right by each other.

Normally I don’t care what the British Bullshit Company has to say, but I’ll give them a pass this time.

Wonder how many people they had to interview to find one having panic attacks.

Overall it didn’t seem like it was making anyone in Odessa look bad. And 97° isn’t the end of the world in Texas.

Just make you sure you are carrying.

Ain't that the truth.

97 looks pretty good right now.

Well the temp has been higher than 97 during that time. I just stayed away from town when the water main broke. Of course it helps that we are on a well out where I am.

At 9pm last night it was still 92° here in East Texas. Since September of last year (when I had my pond reworked), I've had less than 12" of rain.

The average annual rainfall for Angelina County is about 51" per year. That's a little over 4" a month, on average. It's painfully dry.

We need rain badly.

I'm surprised I had to learn about it from an overseas publication.

True. I hadn't noticed. I wondered why my grass sounded like I was walking on a bag of Fritos when I went outside.

Last I heard after the water was back on, is that residents were told to boil it before consuming. I've drank Odessa city water before, I thought it should have been boiled first then.

True , however with the present heat conditions just fill a few jugs up & set them out in the sun for a bit.

That ought to kill anything crawling around in the water.
