Texas is being battered by a winter storm, causing rolling electrical

state, several times the number that lost power during Hurricane Harvey,
with record winter demand in the cold weather and turbines and other
equipment freezing.

In response, President Biden has approved an emergency declaration,
authorizing the Federal Emergency Management Agency “to coordinate all
disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the
hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population,
and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures,�
with 75% federal funding.
Yeah FEMA will get right on it.
By the time they do anything the snow will melt and the daffodils will
be blooming.
FEMA is great at hauling away the debris a month or two later but
don't count on them to do much right away.

They'll bring in ice and (frozen) water.

Maybe in April when they get all of their plans in place.
