This year's storm isn't as severe as Winter Storm Uri. But some Dallas residents are still dealing with deja vu.Danielle Thomas already had so much on her mind that the winter storm barreling toward North Texas barely registered. Her grandmother had died nearly a month earlier, and on the same day, she lost her job as an instructor at a Dallas kickboxing studio.
“I had no power for four days, no water for like three,” she said. Thomas ended up melting snow and pouring it into her toilet to flush and trudging through the blistering cold to wherever she could buy drinking water nearby. Many of those outages didn’t last nearly as long as last year, though. By Friday afternoon, ERCOT reported only 10,783 outages. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas , which manages the state's power grid, reported that peak stress on the system had passed by Friday morning. So far, the strain on Texas’ grid has been far less than it was during Winter Storm Uri.
Thomas even thought she might come through this storm unscathed. Then at noon on Friday, her North Dallas apartment complex lost power. Her water stopped working too. She and her neighbors have been checking in on each other, making sure everyone has what they need until the lights come back on, she said.
