It’s hard to prepare for a natural disaster if you’ve never lived through a similar event before and that’s the situation I found myself in at the beginning of the week.
Although I grew up on the East Coast, I’ve been living in Houston for the past six years with my family and during that time, I’ve learned a lot about what can go wrong when the power goes out for extended periods. We dealt with The Great Texas Freeze back in 2021 and more recently in May, the Houston Derecho storm unexpectedly brought winds of 100 miles per hour.
