NEWS IS THE ROADWAYS ARE LOOK
DRIVABLE RIGHT NOW.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING US AT
4:00.
4:00.
4:00. THE
4:00. THE BIG STORY OF THE DAY, +@
WIDESPREAD POWER OUTAGES THAT
HAVE LASTED FO+@R MANY HOURS
LEAVING NORTH TEXANS LITER+@ALL
IN THE COLD.
>> IT'S REALLY TALE OF TWO
STATES.
STATES.
STATES. FEW THOUSAND CUSTOMERS ARE
WITHOUT POWER IN OKLAHOMA.
BUT IN TEXAS, TH+@AT NUMBER IS
THE MILLIONS.
THE MILLIONS. WE ARE HEARING FROM SOME
FAMILIES WHO HAVE BEEN WITHOUT
POWERING FOR 12 HOURS.
AND FOR SOME OF THEM, JASON, IT
MAY NOT COME BACK UNTIL
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW. WHAT DO YOU SEE.
>>> YEAH, WE SPOKE WITH ERCOT
THE ELECTR+@IC RELIABILITY
COUNCIL OF TEXAS.
WE SPOKE WITH THEM TODAY,
BASICALLY THEY OVERSEE THE
WHOLE GRID AND TRY TO CONTROL
THINGS IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS.
THESE -- THIS IS CONSIDERED
CONTROLLED A CONTROLLED EVENT.
BASICALLY, THEY ARE TRYING TO A
SHUT THE POWER OFF TO A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF PEOPLE SO THAT THE
+@SYSTEM ITSELF DOESN'T GET SO
OVERLOADED THAT IT DOES LIKE A
+@
OVERLOADED THAT IT DOES LIKE A CIRCUIT INSIDE YOUR HOME, AND
SHUTS EVERYTHING DOWN.
AND THEN EVERYBODY IS IN THE
DARK.
DARK.
DARK. SO
DARK. SO WHAT THEY ARE DOING RIGHT
NOW IS CONTROL.
IT IS SOMETHING THEY INTENDED
TO DO, AND THEY SAY IT WILL GO
THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT AND
POSSIBLY INTO T+@OMORROW MORNIN
AND POSSIBLY THROUGH THE DAY
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW.
TOMORROW. YOU SPOKE ABOUT HOW IT IS+@
DIFFERENT IN OKLAHO+@MA, NOT TH
FARRAR FROM US.
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT
WINTIZATION AND SAID THEY
THOUGHT THEY DID A GOOD JOB.
THEY HAD NOT PLANNED WHEN THEY
ARE DEALING WITH THE
ELECTRICITY PRODUCERS OUT
THERE, THEY HADN'T PLANNED FOR
A WINTER LIKE WE ARE SEEING
RIGHT NOW.
RIGHT NOW. AND YOU KNOW THAT THINGS DON'T
WORK WELL WHEN WE GET INTO THIS
KIND OF COLD.
WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING AT, IF
OF'S JOINED US TODAY, IS THE
MISERY MAP.
MISERY MAP. THIS IS FROM ONCOR.
THAT'S THE ELECTRIC DISTRIBUTOR
HERE IN NORTH TEXAS.
THEY OVERSEE THE POWER LINES,
AND THEY WORK WITH THE
DIFFERENT PROVIEDERS TO GET
POWER TO YOUR HOME.
WELL, RIGHT NOW, WE ARE SEEING
MORE THAN 1.1 MILLION CUSTOMERS
THAT ARE REPORTING OUTAGES JUST
HERE IN NORTH TEXAS RIGHT NOW.
THAT NUMBER, WE WERE HOPING IT
WOULD GO DOWN TODAY.
THE STATE WAS EXPECTING THAT
THINGS WOULD GET BETTER AS THE
DAY WENT TODAY.
THAT HAS NOT MOVED MUCH AT ALL.
AND WHEN WE SAY 1.12 MILLION
THAT'S CUSTOMERS, A HOME.
AND MULTIPLY EVERYBODY IN THE
HOME AND YOU LOOK AT HOW MANY
PEOPLE ARE ABSOLUTELY MISERABLE
RIGHT NOW BECAUSE THEY DON'T +@
HAVE HEAT.
HAVE HEAT. LET'S TAKE A SNAPSHOT.
I DID+@ THIS A FEW MINUTES AGO
+@
I DID+@ THIS A FEW MINUTES AGO +@AND WAS ABLE TO PULL THE
+@
+@ WEBSITES UP.
WEBSITES UP. THIS IS+@ INDICATIVE OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING ACROSS THE STATE.
THIS IS+@ IN SAN ANTONIO.
WE CAN'T GET THEIR MISERY MAP
PULLED UP.
PULLED UP. AUSTIN ENERGY, DEALING WITH THE
AUSTIN AREA.
AUSTIN AREA. +@ THEIR MAP IS NOT POPULATING
+@
THEIR MAP IS NOT POPULATING CENTER POINT IN THE HOUSTON
AREA, WHERE WE HEAR THEY HAVE
ABOUT THE SAME NUMBER OF
OUTAGES THAT WE HAVE HERE IN
NORTH TEXAS, SORRY, BUT THE
OUTAGE TRACKER IS TEMPORARILY
UNAVAILABLE.
UNAVAILABLE. THEY HAVE BEEN INUNDATED.
AND IF YOU OR SOMEONE YOU KNOW
HAVE BEEN WITHOUT POWER FOR
MANY HOURS, JUST KNOW, THERE'S
PEOPLE ALL OVER THE STATE WHO
ARE IN THE SAME BOAT.
AND NOW, A+@LL OF THESE DIFFERE
PROVIDERS ARE TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT WAYS TO GET EVERY BODY BACK
ON.
ON.
ON. SO
ON. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE KIND OF
LINE THAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO
THERE AS YOU TRY TO GET POWER
RESTORED TO EVERYBODY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU ONE MORE
THING.
THING.
THING. THIS IS FROM ERCOT THE GRID
OPERATOR.
OPERATOR.
OPERATOR. THE ORANGE LINE IS HOW MUCH
POWER THEY HAVE AVAILABLE.
THE GREEN +@LINE IS HOW MUCH
POWER ALL OF US ARE DEMANDING
RIGHT NOW TO HEAT OUR HOMES.
WELL, YOU CAN SEE, THINGS
STARTED TO LOOK REALLY GOOD,
AND DEMAND+@ DROPPED OFF LIKE
CRAZY.
CRAZY.
CRAZY. THAT WAS AT ABOUT 1:00 IN THE
MORNING.
MORNING.
MORNING. THAT IS WHEN THEY STARTED
KNOCKING PEOPLE OFF.
SO IT'S NOT THAT WE SAW A DROP
IN DEMAND, YOU COULDN'T EVEN
DEMAND THE POW+@ER BECAUSE THEY
JUST SHUT YOU OFF.
SO, THIS +@DOESN'T COMPLETELY
TELL THE STORY.
SO WE HAVE SEEN DEMAND DROPPING
THROUGH THE DAY.
WE HAVE SEEN THEY HAVE ENOUGH
POWER, BUT +@THEN LOOK AT WHAT
+@HA+@PPENS TONIGHT+@ WHEN WE G
INTO THE SHADED AREA.
THIS GREEN LINE, IT TAKE+@S OFF
INTO THE SHADED AREA. THIS GREEN LINE, IT TAKE+@S OFF@
LIKE A ROCKET WAY UP HERE.
THIS IS HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL
DEMAND POWER.
DEMAND POWER. THIS DOWN HERE IS HOW MUCH
POWER IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE.
YOU SEE A VERY CRITICAL
SITUATION GOING INTO T+@HE NIGH
AND A LOT OF THE PEOPLE HAVE
BEEN WITHOUT POWER FOR MANY
HOURS.
HOURS.
HOURS. I
HOURS. I WILL FINISH WITH THIS.
I PUT UP ONE OF TH+@ESE UPDATES
FROM ERCOT TODAY.
LAUREL SAID, THERE'S NOTHING
ROLLING ABOUT OUR OUTAGE OR
EVEN SLOW.
EVEN SLOW. WE HAVE HIT 10 HOURS+@ WITHOUT
POWER, THIS WAS FOUR HOURS AGO.
AND COULD WE HAVE A COUPLE OF
HOURS TO WARM UP AND HEAT SOME
FOOD?
FOOD?
FOOD? THE
FOOD? THE SAD ANSWER TO THAT IS,
PROBABLY NOT.
PROBABLY NOT. IN A LOT OF CASES.
USUALLY, THEY ROLL THESE
BLACKO+@UTS FROM PLACE TO PLACE
THEY SAID THAT THEY H+@AVE SUCH
NEED TO BLACKOUT SO MANY PEOPLE
THAT, THEY DON'T HAVE THE
OPTIONS TO KEEP MOVING TO OTHER
N+@EIGHBORHOODS RIGHT NOW BECAU
THEY ARE TRYING TO PROTECT
HOSPITALS, AND FIRST
RESPONDERS, AND KEEP THEM IN
POWER RIGHT NOW.
AND THEY HAVE JUST HAD SO MUCH
OF THEIR GENERATION THAT HAS
GONE OFF LINE.+@
AS I SAID, THINGS DON'T WORK
WELL +@WHEN IT GETS THIS COLD,
ESPECIAL+@LY WHEN YOU DIDN'T
WINTERIZE IT ENOUGH FOR AN
EVENT LIKE THIS.
THEY SAID GAS GENERATORS ARE
OFF LINE.
OFF LINE.
OFF LINE. WIND GENERATORS ARE OFF LINE.
NUCLEAR, COAL, YOU NAME IT.
ANYTHING THEY FUEL GENERATORS W
THEY WENT TRIPPING OFF AND
RIGHT NOW, WE HAVE NOT SEEN
ENOUGH COMING BACK TO MAKE A
BIG DENT IN THE MAPS.+@
AGA+@IN, IT UPDATED, 1.111
MILLION CUSTOMERS IN NORTH
TEXAS WITHOUT POWER, STILL.
CHRIS AND IZZY.
>> THAT'S SHAMEFUL THAT THEY
HAD NOT PLANNED FOR+@ A WINTER
STORM LIKE WE ARE SEEIN+@G RIGH
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. COME
NOW. COME ON, OKLAHOMA HAS WORST
WEATHER CONDITIONS.
WEATHER CONDITIONS. AND THEY HAVE 1067 POWER
OUTAGES.
OUTAGES.
OUTAGES. THE BIG QUESTION ERCOT, WHAT
ARE PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO DO GOING
INTO THE EVEN COLDER NIGHT WHO
HAVE NOT HAD POWER FOR THE LAST
TEN HOURS?
TEN HOURS? WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A
PANDEMIC.
PANDEMIC. +@ WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO?
>> YEAH, WE TALKED ABOUT
EARLIER TODAY.
EARLIER TODAY. IT USED TO BE YOU COULD TELL
YOUR ELDERLY NEIGHBOR SUFFERING
WITHOUT POWER COME OVER HERE,
WE HAVE POWER STAY WITH US.
NOW IF SOMEONE IS NOT IN YOUR
BUBBLE, WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF
A PANDEMIC, YOU CAN'T INVITE
PEOPLE +@INTO YOUR HOME WHO
HAVEN'T, YOU KNOW, BEEN IN YOUR
+@
HAVEN'T, YOU KNOW, BEEN IN YOUR +@BUBBLE.
+@BUBBLE.
+@BUBBLE. SO THIS REALLY DOES SET UP A
DESPERATE SITUATION FOR A LOT
OF PEOPLE.
OF PEOPLE. I HEARD FROM SOMEBODY WHO SAID
THE HOUSE SHALL I GUESS THEY
HAVE AN ANALOG THERMOSTAT A
DROPPED INTO THE HIGH 40s
IN+@SIDE THE HOUSE.
SO, YOU KNOW, THEY ARE TELLING
YOU BASICALLY+@, PUT ON MORE
CLOTHES, GET SOME BLANKETS, +@P
TOWELS UNDER THE DOORS
EVERYWHERE.
EVERYWHERE. SHUT THE DOORS IN THE HOUSE,
BUT I MEAN, THAT'S LITTLE
CONSOLATION WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN
SITTING THERE ALL DAY LONG.
