Every State has its own unique weather problems. Texas is not special. Throughout the U.S. We have blizzards, heat waves, cold snaps, hurricanes, tornados, floods, mud slides, droughts and this list goes on. Some that you can prepare for and some that you cannot. It is silly to think that no one besides a Texan can handle hot weather.
I wholeheartedly agree that whether it's blizzards, hurricanes, drought or tornadoes, no state has a corner on the crappy weather event market. I just find it a bit tedious to hear from the folks who have the infrastructure to deal with a specific, regularly occurring weather event smugly criticize handling of a 20-year event by people who simply can't justify the economic impact. Northern states would be hard pressed to justify stockpiling air conditioning units "just in case".
tl,dr; don't get all sanctimonious about stuff you feel superior about...
I live in NW Indiana and I do not know one person that owns a home, that also does not own a generator. I understand that if you live in an apartment or a condo, a generator may be a problem to store and the fuel to run it, also. But if you have the ability to store a generator and 20 gallons of fuel..You better do it, no matter where you live.
You have to admit that it’s funny though that you have three days of normal winter weather for my state and your state is completely helpless? Conversely, when My state gets three days of 100 plus degrees and 90% humidity in the summer we dont shut down. People don’t die because they lock themselves in the garage with the car running and the ac on. I thought you guys were tougher than that. Maybe all of those Californy transplants are watering you down.

Don't pay them any mind. Fuck 'em and feed 'em fish heads.

It swings from -10 to 110 here. Am I allowed to give you all shit?
Anyone saying that to you is an ignorant fool and block them.
