Transcript

92% chance that it's gonna be the coldest winter for the deep south in 148 years. Super El Niño. I'm talking about all the states from Texas to Alabama to Mississippi to Louisiana, Georgia, North Florida, the Carolinas, Kentucky, all that belt line right there. You need to prepare now. You need to be thinking about generators. They're talking about ice. They're talking about snow. They're talking about a super El Niño that comes in and basically pulls down the polar vortex and it brings cold air in and a bunch of moisture. And we need to prepare now. If ice comes and it gets on the power lines, we will be out of power for weeks. I would highly suggest and getting a generator and preparing now because this is gonna be a doozy.
