@RobertEMathias4 @nicksortor Since conservatives love to use the word Libs so much I guess it works both ways. The Cons has an appropriate ring to it.

@nicksortor After decades of bad mouthing fossil fuels Dems. cry the loudest when a shortage costs them a few more dollars at the pump. What they wished for is not really what they wanted, I guess. Maybe Libs just like to bitch about something.

BREAKING: President Trump has just signed an executive order invoking the DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT, following increasing energy prices The order surges federal resources to the production of: - Petroleum - Liquefied natural gas - Coal - Power grid infrastructure

@ryanhallyall Any thoughts about severe weather in early spring being mostly in the plains/midwest this year when typically early spring is worse for the southeast?

Monday the threat ramps up. The severe corridor stretches from north Texas all the way into the upper Mississippi Valley with large hail, damaging winds, and now a tornado threat entering the picture. The atmosphere is getting more volatile by the day and we're not even at the peak yet.

@NashSevereWx when will we get updated info from 6 pm balloon?

@NashSevereWx am I crazy,remembering wrong or did the Sox outlook lower the tornado chances today for Nashville area? Change from yellow to brown?

@kinginvestings @GuyTalksFinance And what about electric/gas/water/insurance/phone etc?

@GuyTalksFinance Which zip code are we talking about here, this look like it would be possible 20 years ago

A person making $100k yearly can live a great life in most places. > $2,000/month 401k > $2,500/month mortgage or rent > $500/month food > $500/month car payments > $500/month spending > $500/month misc This is plenty of money. Don’t let the internet fool you.

@Milajoy @grok is this true

This is how OUT OF CONTROL California is. 449,000 REGISTERED VOTERS couldn't perform jury duty because they weren't citizens. But they are REGISTERED VOTERS! A half a million of them. ABSOLUTELY NO federal aid without Voter ID.

@Bedevyr @PettusWX Usually a day or two with an inch or two of snow. Nothing nearly this crazy

If we don't get a blockbuster 5"+ snowstorm here in Nashville sometime in February, this will go down as one of the worst winters ever here.

@NESpower How do we report and outage if our account is linked to 2 addresses and want to report it for one address but not the other?

#NESOutageAlert January 26 12:30pm NES teams worked overnight to make repairs and restore power to customers after freezing rain and ice impacted the NES service territory and have since restored power to 68,000 customers. NES and contracted crews will continue operations in rotations, and they will remain on extended 14–16‑hour shifts to ensure we can continue responding to outages quickly. To ensure the safety of our team members, it is against NES policy to disclose locations of where crews are working in the field. NES lineworkers restore power by tackling areas affecting the largest number of customers first. We understand being without power is difficult, especially when conditions outside are extreme. Regardless of where you live, all our customers are important, and our lineworkers are working hard to get every last outage repaired. No one will be forgotten or left behind; however, utility prioritization practices are to restore the greatest number of customers first. Right now: •There are about 167,000 customers currently without power •At least 143 broken poles have been reported across our service area NES has doubled its workforce, with nearly 300 lineworkers deployed across our service area. Vegetation management crews and supplemental contract crews have been deployed to complement our restoration efforts and ensure lineworkers can continue reaching their sites efficiently. NES asks that customers ensure their homes are ready to receive power. If weatherheads, power masts, or meter bases are damaged, our crews cannot safely reconnect power. NES maintains and repairs the lines leading to a customer’s home, but homeowners are responsible for the equipment on the house. If home equipment repairs need to be made, we strongly suggest contacting a licensed electrician for those repairs. Along with city officials, NES also continues to ask for the community’s help. If your power is out, do not call 911. We need to keep those lines open for emergencies. But if you see a downed power line, that is an emergency, so that is when it is appropriate to call 911. We ask that everyone stay away from downed power lines, and to always assume they are live and dangerous. How to Stay Updated •Report outages by texting OUT to 637797 (NESPWR) from the phone number linked to your account, or by calling (615) 234‑0000. •NES will share restoration information on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook throughout the event.

@NESpower Is NES working alone or do we have other counties coming in to help?

#NESOutageAlert As we continue to work around the clock to restore power after a severe ice storm struck Middle Tennessee overnight, we also remain focused on the upcoming weather forecast. Unfortunately for us all, winds are expected to pick up this evening as temperatures drop into the teens. Wind gusts of up to 15-20mph have the potential to take down teetering trees and other debris onto power lines causing even more power outages. We encourage all customers to stay sheltered and remain safe.

@PettusWX Do you think we will get more sleet than freezing rain? Thoughts about freezing rain totals in Nashville?

Using HRRR initiation and current temps from RTMA, we can estimate conducive precipitation types. Areas below freezing at the surface level, 700mb level, and 850mb level are mostly all snow. Areas that are below freezing at the surface and at the 700mb level are mostly sleet. Areas that are below freezing at the surface but not at the 700mb or 800mb level are likely mostly freezing rain. Areas above freezing are all rain. This isn't 100% accurate, but gives you an idea of what we are dealing with. This warm nose will continue to push north.

@bobby_boyd1946 Are NWS forecasts for flat ice or radial ice

This is a forecast. Purple is freezing rain. It looks more and more like ICE storm for Nashville. #TNwx #KYwx #ALwx #MSwx

@NashSevereWx Is that ice forecast flat ice or radial ice?

- Potential Ice Storm To Unfold Later Today and Sunday - Ice Accumulations of 0.5 - 0.75" To Cause Possible Power Outages/Tree Damage - Prolonged Dangerous Cold To Follow, Wind Chills Values Near -10° Early Next Week New blog here nashvillesevereweather.com/2026/01/24/pot…

@NashSevereWx when NWS is saying Nashville can get .75 inches ice. Does that mean flat ice or radial ice?

@NashSevereWx from weather.gov does this mean they’re pretty confident Nashville area will have less than a quarter inch of ice?

I just received an open blind box from @PacSun and their customer service hours are terrible. Great birthday surprise for my daughter
