Austin Energy field crews talk about working February ice storm

Our crews are familiar with working in 100° weather, but this 🌨️ ice and snow are on another level.
Bad weather conditions and icy roads are making it harder for us to restore power when it does go out. We're pre-staging crews and trucks have chains on their tires.
Hear from our Distribution Electricians Mark P. and Philip P. on what they're dealing with in the field.

Well something needs to shake we have been without power for hours!! We have kids and it’s freezing in our house! You all don’t even have an estimated time!

Quit being a whining drama queen and bundle up while they go out and take care of the issue.

Do your fucking job

[@escape_from_consent_city]

It's easy to be critical of others. What about yourself?

Mark, Philip, & the rest of the team: I appreciate your hard work. Thank you so much for taking on these harsh conditions to keep people safe and warm! This is some crazy shit and, if I could, I'd treat yall to some curry 'n hot toddies
