[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they really lose natural gas?  I’ve had homes with it since the 1980s and have never had an outage.  One time about ten years ago it was shut off for maintenance in my area but it was planned and we were warned.  I can always cook and shower in a power outage.  Unthinkable that the water system would go out too, or was that people failing to keep their pipes from freezing?

I’m skeptical that people have already gotten big power bills.  It sounds like a GoFundMe scam.[/quote]

It was not normally a problem with retail distribution.  Gas comes out of the ground with water in it, which can freeze.  In addition, the temperature of that gas drops whenever the pressure of the gas drops, which can cause it to be many degrees lower than the surrounding environment.  These things can cause freezing.  But as natural gas is processed, the water is removed.  And it travels to your house in a very low pressure, so even if there is some moisture, it should not freeze.  [/quote]
