I live in one of those cities. We’ve suffered five days and five nights, 24 hours a day, with temperatures far, far below the freezing point. Record cold. And no heat.
People in the north will say it is no big deal for it to be that cold for so long, but for someone who recently moved to Texas (a half hour southwest of Fort Worth) , this was quite a surprise.
The beeping began at 6 am Monday when my power went out. The power went out because the thermometer read only 4°F (-15.6°C) and the Texas electric grid couldn’t handle it. Cities all across Texas were struggling with the cold, and the powers that be – very wisely, I think – decided to institute rolling blackouts to keep the power grid from crashing.
