[QUOTE="Mike6158, post: 2956548, member: 1039"] I was in NW NM when that happened. My son drained my water lines in my house but there was no easy way to drain the water well house. The heat lamp didn't quite do the trick and some of the lines split. When I got home, after all of the power outages, every single clock in the house was still on time. I originally blamed the few cracked pipes on the power going out. I don't know what it was since it doesn't appear that I lost power. According to the mighty Goog, wind turbines have a brake that kicks in at 55MPH. My son works for company that provides engines to peak shaver plants around here. He used to send me Ercot screenshots showing that the wind farms were down and the wind was blowing. There wasn't enough demand. I live south of a coal fired plant (La Grange), about 25 miles away, maybe 30. North of the South Texas Nuclear Plant about 100 miles ish. The peak shaver that he used to operate is about 15 miles south as the crow flies. [/QUOTE]
