Back to having power outages in Austin (and probably rest of Texas) due to the cold weather. Finally one of our live oak tree branches cracked and narrowly missed the front porch. Staying in bed to stay warm.

@pratik I’m glad it didn’t knock out your power and happy that you’re safe.
Years ago, I was watching a Florida thunderstorm from my living room when one of the massive live oak tree limbs crashed down. It shook the whole house and left a permanent dent in the lawn. The tree surgeon told us that all live oaks tend to split at some point in their growth cycle with one side heavier than the other, causing a future split.
@pratik Wishing you good luck for getting that power back and hope that beautiful tree is not damaged too badly. You have enough books to stay warm, I suppose.
@pratik Up in NE Texas, I've managed to keep the power on. My parents and grandparents haven't been so lucky.
