There was massive, massive power failure this year in Texas [0], dozens of people died from cold exposure. Few households in Texas have gas heating, so you could say it didn't make difference, although the electric heating itself was part of the problem because everybody's heat pumps hit the threshold of inefficiency at the same time, overloading the grid. Obviously, if you had gas to your house, you could run a generator and keep your pipes from exploding. If you had a gasoline car, you could put grandma in there to warm her up and stop her from dying. Or maybe you had a portable propane heater, or simply a wood stove or fireplace. The fully electrified house has none of these unless you spent $40,000 on a massive solar / battery setup.
