Weather Disaster: Winter Storms Wreak Havoc Across Texas, Power Outages Could Last For Days

Millions are without power in Texas as a winter storm continues to wreak havoc on the state.

More than 3 million people are without power after some of the coldest weather experienced in decades tripped many of the state’s power plants offline.

Some local officials have issued boil-water notices and have urged some residents to reduce their electricity usage.

While some are struggling to stay warm, authorities warn power may remain offline for days because heavy snowfall, ice storms and bitter temperatures continue to put an enormous strain on the state’s power grid.

Paul Goodloe, Meteorologist at The Weather Channel spoke with Roland Martin during Wednesday’s edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered about the crippling winter storms that are wreaking havoc in Texas.
