Huh? It was an intense storm. Has nothing to do the Texas grid. There’s downed trees all over. Let’s not drown out the rea valid criticism with memeification.

We see it coming due to the increasingly common and intense storms that are resulting the changing climate while at the same time Texas' refusal to enhance grid redundancy, resiliency, or do basically anything to help their constituents.

There's only so much you can do (nothing really) to stop trees and limbs from falling onto power lines. There's no action Houston could feasibly take to make it this not happen. Nothing.

The water table is too high to bury lines which would be the only solution.

Yes, they're saying I won't have power until 3pm. It's been out since 9pm. It has been record high heat. I am going to look for a hotel

Now it's Friday. I'm hearing it could be as late as Sunday before I get power again. Welp, looks like I'm going into debt because a stand by generator is on the menu.
