I could be wrong here, but it seems Texas should have the same problem in extreme heat conditions if this was truly about the power grid.

I have no idea. All I know is that they were told to winterize a bunch of stuff and they didn't do it which was a contributing factor to all of this. I'm guessing it's similar to why water pipes bust??? I'm not familiar with cold weather problems like this. All I know is that a bunch of people completely screwed this whole situation up. Ridiculous. I hope heads roll for this.
I'm just glad I follow Q and had a feeling some crap was going to go down, so I stocked up last month on bottled water and some canned/dried goods, and my husband insisted on buying a small generator. It wasn't big enough to run my whole house or anything, but I knew we could plug a heater into it or cook some food with it. I felt so much better knowing we were prepared. This has lit a fire under me to be even more prepared in the future.
