What s going on in Texas (and how you can help)
If you ve been keeping an eye on the news, you ve probably heard that Texas is facing a severe weather threat. Record-breaking cold temperatures are the result of harsh winter storms sweeping across the United States, and they have overwhelmed Texas, a state largely not used to these frosty conditions.
Freezing temperatures have led to mass blackouts and power shortages that have affected millions of Texans. Texas has an independent power grid, which means the standard practice of importing emergency energy from other states can t be accomplished. Governor Greg Abbott has criticized Texas s power grid operations, and Texas Speaker of the House Dade Phelan wants a legislative hearing on the issue.
