In the past 30 years, this has happened three times, so it's more like a once-in-10 years event. This just so happens to be the worst of the three

- chasd00 6y agoi've lived in Texas for 33 of my 45 years and don't recall anything like this. I could be wrong though because this is just my memory talking. I do remember in 2011, 14" of snow and power being out for about three days for me in Oak Cliff ( just SW of downtown Dallas). I loaded my wife and infant in the car and drove to Plano ( about 45min North of Dallas ) and stayed at my inlaws who had power. I don't recall the power outages being anywhere near as widespread as this event. ..certainly not down South near Austin. I also don't recall water service being an issue at all.
