Texas where I live at least gets weather like this all the time because the Panhandle is closer to the rocky mountains. So we can get blizzards and ice storms. But its unprecedented in the further south areas. Our electric grid is gonna fail because it is not a national grid. Turbines are failing because they aren't winterized.

Hopefully this will change some minds about climate. But I doubt it.
