Interim Police Chief, Robin Henderson, said children are okay.
Still have questions. Henderson said everything is preliminary and the info may change.

Posting this again to fix typo:
Morning stabbing turned officer-involved shooting. The police chief said the suspect (shot) & 2 of 3 stabbed are in the hospital. One died.
What makes me the maddest—3 kids were in the home at the time.
More on @KVUE’s morning newscast at 8.

@farfadale I have some info for you. Bluebonnet told me it was heavy loads primarily caused by electric heaters in homes. It led to sagging lines, which came into contact with others and caused faults... leading to outages.
They had to work in sections, energizing one at a time.

@EricaProffer the same area over several hours, 18 linemen to repair the problem and no answers. This whole area of people would like to know what happened and if it's truly fixed so it won't happen again.
English
@EricaProffer pretty sure I am not the only one in SW Bastrop county who would like an explanation for loss of power. It occurred multiple times, over the night of the 16th into the morning hours of the 17th. No, I don't want to be on the news.

@joshdr83 I feel this pain. Got dozens of files back from a PIR once and it was sent as small individual files within a folder within individually zipped folders. That was fun. 🙃
English
Don’t mind me, just downloading 104,040 individual files from SPP’s website because apparently operating reserves data come in individual 5-min files…
English
@farfadale I'll ask right now. Thank you for letting me know.

@nahval74 @KVUE @ERCOT_ISO I'll preface by saying I'm not an expert. However, from everything I'm seeing and hearing, it's not going to be as bad as 2021.
English
@EricaProffer @KVUE @ERCOT_ISO Erica, I've been noticing some ice starting to come down and that worries me. Is this going to be enough to stop the windmills from spinning just like 2021?
English
@MichaelEWebber @gspeng @UTAustin Maybe this can help give context as to what's happening around you? arcgis.com/apps/dashboard…
English
@gspeng @UTAustin Not sure: pipes didn't burst during the 5-day long winter storm in February 2021, so I doubt they burst this time (yet--fingers crossed).
What I *think* happened is some supply pipes in our crawlspace (insulated, but still exposed to air temps) have ice in them, blocking flow.
English
No water at my house b/c of the freeze (not sure if it's just my house or a wider issue).
The semester @UTAustin starts tomorrow so I came to my office to work. It's 61F here.
It's a choice btw:
UT office: water+power (but no heat) or
Home office: heat+power (but no water)

"The drop in U.S. gas availability so far this week was the most in over a year, with supplies on track to fall by around 9.6 billion cubic feet per day (bcfd) from Jan. 8-14 to an estimated 11-month low of 98.6 bcfd on Jan. 14, according to data from financial firm LSEG."

@nahval74 @KVUE @ERCOT_ISO Not sure which plant. From the EIA map, it's mostly solar and wind out there. The ERCOT unplanned outage report is days behind. Do you know?
The generation loss is not to the 2021 level. 2021-loss >50,000MW. Right now-<17,000MW.

@EricaProffer @KVUE @ERCOT_ISO Which plant went down in San Angelo? Is the system losing generation like with Uri?

Oncor is closely monitoring the incoming arctic cold front & doing everything we can to prepare for severe winter weather & potential local outage impacts. Customers are encouraged to take every opportunity to prepare their families, homes & businesses. ➡️ ms.spr.ly/6012ioQZu

This is a good reason to keep an eye on the electricity supply and demand forecast.
Jan. 10 projections vs Jan 12. projections.
As the weather forecast changes, so does this.

@EricaProffer @KVUE Erica, you & I know that they will likely blame population pressure for this. My God, we've got half of California living in our state now. I might add that Texas, by Monday will give us a hint of what an EMP attack on America would look like. Please answer soon!
English
@EricaProffer @KVUE Erica, In your opinion, is it looking increasingly likely that Texas will experience grid failure by Tuesday morning at 9:00 am? That energy expert you talked to seemed optimistic at first, but now he's got doubts. Please answer soon!

It's gonna be cold in Texas, y'all. Qs on my mind:
1) will the natgas system freeze up (like in 2021, 2022, 2023,...)
2) will it be wet (probably not)
3) will it be windy (probably)
4) will peak electric demand in ERCOT >> summer peak b/c of heating + data centers (maybe!)

"The natural gas market operates on a combination of non-transparent over-the-counter (OTC) trades and exchange-based standardized contracts in a handful of locations. And the gas markets that are transparent don’t do weekends." #txlege #energytwitter

SPP's hosting this call to prep for the impending winter storm. Utilities need to reserve natural gas fuels ahead of time, but evidently the gas markets usually are closed up over the weekend. Compounding the problem is Monday is MLK Day, another day off for gas.

ERCOT ha emitido una alerta meteorológica del 15 al 17 de enero debido al frío extremo que se pronostica en toda la región de ERCOT, una mayor demanda eléctrica y la posibilidad de menores reservas. Se prevé que las condiciones de la red sean normales. Se pueden monitorear en ercot.com. Lea más e inscríbase para recibir notificaciones de #TXANS aquí: bit.ly/41RdP8p
