America moment: being forced to rely on a burger company’s app to find out where power outages are 
Oh, and of course we can not forget that said burger company is using this massive natural disaster/tragedy as an opportunity to do Brand Twitter™ PR and marketing in the replies to the original tweet!
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
Texas is just especially stupid about it.
I'm in Ohio, which is trying to become the Florida of the Midwest, and my neighborhood is part of an electrical co-op. They have a great website with real-time tracking of outages and a text message service for outage reporting and updates.
It's not all co-ops here. AEP does electrical service a lot of the nearby towns, and from what I've heard, outage reporting and tracking is more effort and doesn't update in real-time. But at least they do have a map and an online outage submission form, so that's something.
I feel very badly for our comrades in places like Texas. Ohio sucks badly enough, but jfc, Texas really does it up.
