I’m in Austin, TX. Power went out for the first time yesterday at 2 am. I got a text saying they were doing planned outages that would last an hour. Went to bed. When I woke up at 8 am, the power was out, but it wasn’t cold in my house. Power came back on around noon for 30 minutes. Decided I wouldn’t move my animals unless it didn’t come back on before I went to bed. Luckily it came on at 7 pm until it just shut off now.
Without power for about 7 hours at the worst, and the house didn’t drop below 60-65, enclosures didn’t drop below 70-75. Luckily, I have a gas stove, in case I need to boil water. But with my animals being in a segregated room that has held temp pretty well, I’m probably not going to move them unless power doesn’t come back on for 12+ hours, I’m hoping.
edit: powers back!
