[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile, Texas STILL hasn't learned a damn thing from its last adventure with extreme weather...

Their power's out AGAIN.

Austin received over an inch of ice, if this occurred in DC/VA/MD, the impacts would be similar. Today, the temps in Austin will reach the mid-50’s and 70’s by Sunday, everything will be fine. Also, this summer, Austin (and much of Texas) experienced 3 months straight of 100 degree temps. The powered grid was strained but power stayed on and Texas AC is like a fridge in most buildings. This would not be the situation in the Northeast, I guarantee it.

Go ahead, keep slamming Texas if it makes you feel superior, we know what the truth is. [/quote]

Except, no. You think NOVA hasn't had ice storms, massive heat waves (aka, summer here), or blizzards. In my home, I've lost my power exactly zero times in those situations in 22 years: not derecho, not snowmaggedon, not any of hte other "geddons." Nice try. [/quote]

We were out for a week during the derecho. And multiple days during blizzards. [/quote]

Depends on where you lived. I had a colleague who lived in a mansion in Foxhall and her power was out for 5 days after the derecho. I lived in Adam’s Morgan and never lost power. [/quote]
