Winter storm slams dozens of states and leaves millions without power.


        NBC News Announcer Morgen Chesky reported from Dallas that; temperatures are in the single digits from this massive winter storm system that has a reward through this area and in other southern states causing incredibly dangerous conditions we know that right now nearly 2000000 Texans could be without power as a result of rolling outages due to unprecedented demand on the state's power grid. 


        Housten Mayer Sylvester Turner says; "As they say, 24 to 30 6:00 hours I'm going to be very very important and I'm simply going to ask us to just to kind of hunkered down I know it I know it's cold for people who have lost power in the city I certainly understand that. A number of generation plants that have been taken offline I like you wind turbines that are frozen over in various parts of the state one of our nuclear plants had to be taken offline so there's a huge demand a very limited supply it is a system-wide failure across the state."




        A resident of Dallas Sandra Murillo says that: "I know people are helping each other out as much as they can like okay we have power come on over. I mean. It's just unfortunate for some people that. You know it's covered and everything some people don't want to invite others over."


        Judge Lina Hidalgo: "Very early this morning around 2 in the morning the Harris County public health department building at 610 in San Felipe they lost power and its backup generator failed. At that location, we had 8430 maternal vaccines with the power out we all know those vaccines need to be kept in cold storage. And so we got to work. Under the mission to avoid losing those vaccines with the loss of power and we quickly put together a plan to allocate and salvage them."  "Thankfully no vaccines were lost the vaccines that we got to our partners they have them they've distributed them and the vaccines that you know after we learned Materna said you can put those back in the food in the fridge we put them back in the fridge."


        Some students of Rice University reported that;

        "I literally dropped everything got everything on and sprinted here and apparently everyone else at the same thought as me my roommate told me like Hey they're handing out tax season you know like run because there's already like hundreds of people there."

        "I am 21 you know so I'm not even in the risk category so I just feel very lucky that rice is able to do this and I feel good that I'm gonna be safer for everyone around me."




        Cold weather blasted parts of the U.S. and rendered millions in Texas without power amid the freeze. The weather fostered the demand for fuel while simultaneously threatening to hamstring oil production in the state. More than 4.1 million people woke up without power in Texas, according to poweroutage.us., as record low temperatures brought a demand for power that the state's electric grid cannot handle. The areas hardest hit by the outages were around Galveston and Houston.
