Well, they are supposed to supply power. And they are also to know WTF to do when there's an issue.
They know how many customers they have and the knew the storm was coming...therefore knew they couldn't match needed output.

No. They didn’t. Last week was tough but it’s not hard to keep your kids alive when you have shelter. Dress your child in multiple layers, don’t let them go play in wet, below freezing weather then stay in wet clothes. Sit together under blankets to share warmth. In addition, there were warming shelters open all across the city.

It wasn’t the loss of power that killed their child. It was their lack of caring for and protecting their child that led to his death. Everyone I know without power all last week managed to keep their family alive.
