>>795068The power outages, both in Cali and Texas, are always made to seem larger than they are. When they say "2 or 4 million" potentially affected, that usually means one area of a town go it, but the power company put out a notice to the whole county. The actual number of people that lose power, usually ends up being about 10% of what the news reports, and both these states have over 30 million people.
I know a lot of folks all over both those states, none lost power either of the last times the news was reporting millions lost it. Though someone's waterpipes did freeze, if only due to not preparing proper.
