Yes, that is what I am talking about. The biggest risk is a power failure during a heatwave. In a separate conversation, someone pointed out that the transformers on the grid are only rated to operate up to 105 degrees F, which means above that the likelihood of failure increases.

The article you recommended has given me another person to follow on Medium as well as nightmares tonight I’m sure. I still need to figure out best option for me for having power when the grid fails again here in Texas. It appears that winter isn’t the season I need to worry about surviving.
Sad but likely true Beth. We get difficult winters here in northern Wisconsin, but they rarely worry me like this. I so wish I could be writing something different.
