Good thread on twitter about the various things that are going worng in Texas at the moment.
One notable bright spot is El Paso, where they lost power due to a storm in 2011, and so have spent the past decade winter-proofing their power generation and transmission. Lights are still on there.

Griddy is an interesting model.
Alternatively, you could just turn off your main breaker and pretend the power's out until the prices go back down in a couple days.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
