NEW: With supply still too low, CenterPoint is trying new strategy for #Houston: shifting outages.
Bottom line: If you’ve had no power for 2 days, you may get it. If you’ve had it, you may lose it for 1-2 days.

These are NOT rolling blackouts (brief, rotating 1hr outages). This is really just a robbing Peter to pay Paul situation.
And it’s def happening. We just lost power. Typed this on my laptop by candlelight, just like the Founding Fathers.
Hearing stories like these now. (And hope you have better luck @lomikriel!)

2.6 million power outages in TX now, from Red River (-2°) to Rio Grande Valley (21°). To Northerners who don't understand the big deal:
- Many TX 🏘️ lack heat; rely on 🔌 space heaters
- 🏘️ improperly insulated & vulnerable to pipes freezing
- Few snow plows, salt, snow tires ❄️
