The Great Texas Blackout of '21: A Flashback
Remember that time Texas turned into Antarctica overnight? Yeah, that was fun. It was like Mother Nature decided to throw a surprise ice party and nobody got the invite. Except for the lizards, apparently. They were thriving. But for the rest of us, it was a shivering, teeth-chattering ordeal. And let's not forget about those frozen pipes. Plumbing problems are the last thing you want when it's already -10 degrees outside.
QuickTip: Skim first, then reread for depth.
Is it Gonna Happen Again?
The short answer is: nobody really knows for sure. Texas has been working on beefing up its power grid, but let’s be honest, it’s like trying to fix a leaky boat while it’s still in the ocean. There's a lot of work to be done. But hey, at least they’re trying.

That said, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent and intense, and that's a recipe for potential power problems. So, while it's not guaranteed, it's definitely a possibility. It's like saying, "Will it rain tomorrow?" You can't be 100% sure, but an umbrella wouldn't hurt.
