this cold feels
it just goes right through your bones in
addition to being without power
and having no internet to be able to do
school work
we also don't have any water as you can
see i'm in my car right now because it's
the only place we have heat
hello hello hi henry this is angelico
[Music]
i mean henry is 92 almost 93
my most concern is about keeping him
warm i took
four blankets wrapped him up really
tight like a tight mummy
and i got bathroom cows to lay on top of
them because at night
our temperature in the house is said to
be 32.
he gives fluid in his lungs and
compromises his breathing
our oxygen tank is on zero we have no
oxygen
so i called the hospital but they can't
get
through they tried on monday but
it was too icy too slippery so she
turned back around
we are in san antonio rolling power
outages we've got
a comforter milled up over our window
with a sheet and blinds behind that
candles that are completely covered
throughout the room to help conserve
body heat
all our kiddos are in the room as well
of course we've got blankets
and towels at the bottom of
all the doors and we've duct taped
up at the vent as well to keep a draft
out
it's been about four days on and off
about two full days without and then
rolling blackouts since and we never
know
uh how long it's gonna be on if it's
gonna be on for five minutes or
for an hour or five hours we we never
know we've been eating dinners here
in the bathroom so our bathroom is
really cold
but we've been storing beautiful lego
buildings
and absolute garbage food that doesn't
have to be heated or cooled or prepared
or anything like that
but we've been collecting snow
and melting it on the grill we've been
collecting it in the bathtub so that we
can use it
to flush the toilet it's been tough
keeping all the grown-up concerns
to the grown-ups um and letting the kids
just
have fun i love everything that i did
my favorite thing is being with my
family together
you put the um sensor light up there
so whenever you know if we keep moving
it's it'll stay on
made a pot of beans i've been here for
all my life
and this is this is the craziest i've
ever seen it here
we try to wash the dishes in the dark
there but we get it done
so we have this in the garage and uh
it's a block of ice now
the perishables inside the refrigerator
are
you know going bad so we my daughter had
a great idea
by putting snow inside the ice chest oh
my god the power just came on
okay let's see how long we can get this
going for
i gotta plug in my phone we kept
thinking when it came on
that was it we're good you know we'll be
fine
on tuesday or wednesday we were using
the gas fireplace
so that we could have some sort of heat
and we started smelling gas both inside
and outside the house
so we called 9-1-1 we got out of the
house as quick as we could
9-1-1 never came three hours pass
finally the gas company comes out we
have a massive
leak they were able to shut the gas off
but like i said we were sitting outside
with our dogs in one blanket for three
hours waiting for someone to respond
and i think we're in for another
freezing night tonight so there's no
telling
when this is going to end or when we're
going to be able to get back to normal
life we just
want this to be over and we're not used
to this
