Texas didn’t have a statewide outage. I live in Rockwall and our power hasn’t so much as flickered all this week. There were a lot of outages in outlying areas for sure, I think it impacted about 1/3 of the population here in some way or another.

You might be on the same circuit as a hospital or fire station or other essential place that power stations avoid load shedding to at any cost.

Good point - I’m right off Lake Ray Hubbard, and we have a big natural gas power plant on the other side of the lake.

I live in Houston and I only knew 1 person who had electricity the whole time.

85% of the people I know plus myself had over 24 hrs of contiguous down time.
