In early February 2021, a powerful winter storm impacted most of Texas! There was a massive power grid failure under ERCOT. Record freezing temeraptures, snow totals, and ice storm accumulations hit every part of Texas from February 12th thru the 17th. I began recording this in Palestine, Texas as a simple weather nerd, but grew extremely concerned when the power grid failed. What started as rolling blackouts across the state of Texas turned into days without power leading to frozen pipes, many deaths, loss of water supply, and many other hardships! I was luckily prepared. I don't usually upload this content on this channel, but wanted to share my family's experience with all of you!
