How A Winter Storm Pushed Texas Into Crisis

AUSTIN: Two days ago the storm covered Texas under the snow. Houston chief has officially warned constituents to prepare for a major hurricane. After hearing that Texans stocked up food and water. While nonprofits organizations and government agencies had decided to come forward. 

Here is the current situation in Texas:

Texans people are waiting for power with more snow on the way. 

As slowly the temperature plunged and the road was covered by snow, in no time Texas’ power grid collapsed. Millions of people were frigid in their homes or looking for safety. At hospitals, people were standing outside to collect rainwater. While others stood in the park to collect tap water. University raised funds for students. 

 All across the world images of Texas are going worldwide. The state of Republicans blamed that they ignored the warnings, for not providing proper information to the residents. 

 Ambulances were lined up outside St. David’s South Austin Medical Center to take patients who were stuck in Austin, Texas, on February 17. Seeing the condition, hospitals across the South supported them with water on 21st, February. As the country was making efforts for recovery during this winter storm but the temperature had offered a balmy stay.      

Another steams join hands: 

A week after nearly 5 million citizens are about to recover. Many house powers were cut for three nights and were sleeping outside on air mattresses. Grocery stores were shut down and due to which the hotel rate skyward. People who came home as relatives have to flee away just to avoid spreading the coronavirus. 

Due to frigid weather, people were put under notices to drink boil water: 

Streets pipes were frozen or busted. The water which was coming out was often undrinkable due to low pressure. Half of Texas’ people were forced to drink boiling water. On February 19, water was disturbed or loaded into cars. A whole stadium name drive-thru was set up to provide water bottles to residents or individuals. While the other people still were drinking boiled water. 

Most of Texas were unaware of the blackout and after 3 days the government started to initiative. People started to take shelters in cars, others were hospitalized. Many people shared their experiences, according to APnews.com, a woman and a young daughter were found dead in a car inside the garage. In suburban Houston, Tina Rios, a Texas resident, could see her breath inside the trailer. Her husband and children said she started “stressing hard.” 

Texas is still struggling with outages:

The situation was not good in university, but students were prepared. As they have filled bathtubs with water. Many Austin citizens used the method of boiling water. After spending 80 hours without power and water. They decided to melt or brave the icy roads, just to reach out for their daily supplies. 

Several questions were raised How could this happen or occur in a state, it is known as Nation’s biggest energy producer? Why were they unprepared?. The disaster has pointed to Texas leadership and ignoring the warnings. More than 35 people were declared dead. Many of them were missing and were looking outside in cold weather. 

At week’s end power came back and Texans people got a grip. But it has faced electric bills that cost them thousands of dollars. By seeing this governor has to call an emergency meeting with lawmakers. 

Conclusion:

Texas did not fully grid off, small or few numbers of people were having interconnection points with the Eastern U.S grid. Utility executives have argued that Texas had many blackouts in the past so they wanted to be connected with the other country. So that other cities can tap Texas when there is a shortage. 

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas created a powerful broker in 1970. During the blackout and the wake of a storm, they have taken the blame. People lost their trust in a politician and captured many predictions on the failure of depth crisis. They then took the help of social media platforms by posting jargon-heavy tweets about the power generation. 

Half of the Eastern country was covered with a large grid. Texas then wedged between the west and east of the country. Through seeing this country with a colorful vision in it, but explanation towards it is very simple free from federal regulation. As the storm was getting controlled but the situation was worse. Here is a 37-year-old lady who says, “Today would have been rough because many of them or almost we were like, ‘let’s go and start looking for water. Hopefully, we could find some water.”
