Freezing cold weather has been wreaking havoc in Texas. Cold temperatures crippled their electrical grid, leaving millions of people without power for multiple days and causing pipes to freeze and burst, flooding homes.
So the question is, are Ohioans protected from a similar crisis happening here?
