That's cool, I'm currently in Polk County, but I spend a lot of time in that area and even lived in Willis for a few years (2010-2013). I'll assume you're also familiar with SHECO then... their outage map shows all power is currently on, but at the beginning of all this, the rolling blackouts were only in counties on the ERCOT grid. As far as blackouts only affecting cities, my mom lives in Walker county, out in the sticks west of Huntsville, and the power at her place has been off and on every few hours the last few days, obviously part of the rolling blackouts. Thankfully, they appear to have ended, at least in her area, because she had power all day today. I just can't figure out the logic to any of this, none of it makes any sense.

Side note: I'm a building designer (basically a notch below architect). If you know where Sam's Liquor and Donuts is in Willis, the building going up behind them is one of our designs. It's not the prettiest thing, but the owners cheaped out on the nicer features we had planned.

Edit: Walker county IS on the ERCOT map.
