As I write this, a large part of the city and state around me are without power; for many people, it’s been like this for multiple days.
The state of Texas has had a major blackout in the midst of a historic winter storm. My family slept through two very cold nights in our house without electricity or heat, waking up to indoor temps of 45ºF (7ºC) after the overnight low here in Austin plunged to a historic 7ºF (-14ºC). (For context, Austin’s average overnight low for February is 46ºF (7ºC), and freezes rarely last more than a few hours.)
