More detailed update on MI natural gas situation: https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/macomb-county/2019/01/30/no-injuries-after-fire-armada-natural-gas-facility/2721353002/

@twbrandt @Cornellbox fwiw, these alerts are broadcast by cell towers to all phones connected to it, not selected by area code etc. Unlike pretty much everything else cell phones do, it's a simple 1-direction broadcast. This allows for geographical targeting (eg. broadcast from all cell towers in county X, regardless of whose phones are connected.)
Doesn't explain the difference between your two phones, though, if they were in the same place.

On the bright side, this weekend will be 60+ degrees warmer than it is tonight:

Ann Arbor breaks 108-year-old cold temperature record: https://www.mlive.com//news/2019/01/ann-arbor-passes-108-year-old-mark-for-the-coldest-jan-30-on-record.html

@csalzman @logista @twbrandt also, Freep headline implies that DTE has the same request

@csalzman @logista @twbrandt I wonder if natural gas supply is an interconnected grid like electricity…it would make sense in that context, no?

@sstrudeau that sounds decent to me, yeah.

@sstrudeau I'm normally okay with the "it's been like this for a while, so it must be okay" line of thinking, but this is unusually extremely cold. Saw on birdsite that this will be the 6th or 7th day that the high was below zero in the history of SE MI weather records

@twbrandt sorry I missed this yesterday. I'll get it to you later this week!

@twbrandt no, I have never gotten into that (surprisingly enough)

@sstrudeau yikes. one of my spigots just doesn't have a valve inside...I added a couple layers of insulation ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07GWN4Y4N/ ) and attached a pipe heater ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015GH8PZS/ ) inside, and knock on wood it seems to be working.
I should have someone install a valve, but I don't know how much $ that'll be

@csalzman awwwww <3

AADL is open today: https://twitter.com/aadl/status/1090353621097693185

@twbrandt I have it at the office now. We can arrange a pickup/drop off soon

Did one of you tell me you needed a PoE injector? I thought @dadrian did, but apparently I'm misremembering.

@csalzman how did you figure that out?

@bdimcheff well, no
