SHOW TRANSCRIPT
A deadly winter storm plunged much of Texas into a deep freeze that left millions in the state without power and running water some for several days. We lost power yesterday morning, Chissell Porreca, a Richmond, Texas resident said last month amid the storm. Today, when we got up, there was no water.
The storm nearly collapsed the state s power grid impacting all forms of energy production, but hitting the state s reliance on natural gas especially hard.
