Yeah probably one of the richest in the country but they cannot keep power on to their residents when they have a winter storm while cities like Chicago and Boston and New York go through this every year and keep power on to their residents!!!! freaking ridiculous!!!!

Shut up

Better than the shithole you probably crawled out of this morning. This is a generational winter event for the state.

Hmmmmm, I wonder if maybe, just maybe, there's a pretty big difference between these cities and the vast majority of the cities in the State of Texas. Hmmmmm

Do those cities have a major ice storm every year? And I don’t mean snow storm/blizzard.

Well electric grids tend to be prepared for the 2nd largest state to be ENTIRELY in winter weather warnings.

It's obviously a VERY COMMON occurrence for several places to break record low temperatures at the same time.

Texas has 254 counties. With almost 30M people living there.

For the first time since keeping record all 254 counties got snow at the same time. A lot of power outages was probably caused by tree limbs falling on power lines, etc.

You comparing Texas to a city like Chicago that has 3M people. Think about that again.. You are comparing Texas... To Chicago, Boston, etc..

Chicago has one company that supplies the city with electricity.. I just googled it, its called ComEd. There are a lot of different companies that provide energy/utilities throughout Texas.

There should be a test everyone has to pass in order to post on the OT. Some of you simply lack basic common sense.
