Texas Declares Emergency as Powerful Winter Storm Nears

Texas Governor Greg Abbott issued disaster declarations for more than half the counties in the state ahead of a powerful winter storm.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas issued a weather watch with the possibility of higher electrical demand and the potential for lower reserves, but expects power supplies to be ample.

The storm's worst is expected to sweep the South, with ice encrusting trees and power lines, leading to widespread outages, and estimated damages and losses may reach $25 billion.
