I wrapped/covered most of my plants cause I read on here how Northern growers do it but if I was not on here how would I have known.....hope I am clear. That is also my opinion
I need to buy a generator so I can be prepared for next time but saying and doing are 2 different things.

Well, I've never had a prolonged power outage but I know that there is a shut off valve before the meter because I've used it before. They could look up the following using their smart phones:

Even, after the pipes burst, why don't they turn off the water?
I was thinking, maybe, in Texas, water meters are located outside and are inaccessible to homeowners. In the Chicago area, water meters are typically located in basements.
