1/I'm Alex Jones' ex-wife.
Alex Jones has harassed me and sued me for years.
Today I was denied an open hearing by Judge Soifer who would not order mandatory protections for my child after criminal continuous family violence in Alex Jones' home.

🚨IMPORTANT AUSTIN WATER UPDATE: Austin Water is issuing a Boil Water Notice to customers in southwest Austin and Lost Creek today. The boil water notice is required because water pressure dropped below minimum levels in the water distribution system. 1/x
Austin Water’s treatment plants are functioning normally. Even so, water use has far exceeded typical water usage and exceeded water production by 250 percent over the past 24 hours. 2/x
Water pressure and water storage have significantly dropped throughout Austin Water’s service area in the past day. 3/x
Weather/power update: Austin Energy is currently responding to two emergency events: AE continues responding to ERCOT's needs for the electric grid, and now we are seeing the effects of a severe ice storm. #atxwx 1/x
The ice storm is causing vegetation to fall and causing damage to equipment that is affecting customers, including some customers who had been restored overnight and some who had not previously been impacted. 2/x
We are hearing a lot of concern and speculation about hospitals, but all hospitals and other Tier 1 critical loads are currently energized. Please continue to urge conservation, as ERCOT operating reserves are extremely low & additional calls for load shedding are occurring. 3/x
A press conference from ERCOT is starting now, we'll carry it live on @cbsaustin. If you are out of power, don't waste battery trying to watch. I'll try to tweet as much relevant info as possible. #AustinPowerOutage #atxwx
ERCOT CEO Bill Magness says they are trying to "manage the electrical grid." He says their fundamental job is to keep the grid reliable and balance supply and demand. Right now, there is an imbalance. They needed to protect the "integrity of the grid."
Magness says they knew this storm was coming and says steps were taken to prepare for it. Sunday night, they saw a large drop in the amount of supply available and if they let it stay out of balance for too long it would have had a catastrophic impact.
Per @JasonM_KVUE, a storm watch now in effect for all the areas in pink. @JackCameraman and I on our way out to #Llano now. Live on @KVUE at 5, 6 and 10. #atxwx #txwx #storm 
Along 183, clouds have parted for now. Is this “the calm before the storm?”
Got some raindrops on the windshield now in @BurnetCo.
