Yesterday I was watching a documentary where the survivors of the climate disaster that occurred in the state of Texas in February 2021 were interviewed, because the truth is that I realize that so many things happen that we forget everything immediately, everything is so Instantly, we are so busy with more and more screens that catch our attention that we forget that there are people who, no matter how many years have passed, their lives have never returned to what they were and perhaps they are still suffering a lot and are still facing enormous problems.
I am talking about the snow storm that occurred in February 2021 in the state of Texas, during which due to the low temperatures which is something totally abnormal because the state of Texas is a fairly hot, desert state, that is, people do not is used to seeing snow in Texas and even less seeing those temperatures below zero, but what happened is that a snow storm began, the temperatures dropped a lot and it lasted 10 days, this storm is something totally abnormal and as a result of that the entire system electrical stopped working.
This generated a situation of extreme suffering, social chaos and many deaths also due to freezing, I think it is one of the worst deaths that many people lost family friends loved ones during that event.
This is very important because in case you haven't noticed lately, a lot of things are happening in many places in the world and part of what happens is that the system, the famous system, does not work in those moments where it is most needed and modern society especially in the West, which is accustomed to the fact that there is always someone ready to help, in case of, say, fire, accident, flood and others, everyone is accustomed to the fact that there are bodies that are there ready to help but suddenly they do not appear, for example in situations that happened in Israel recently.
You just have to imagine that situation, the lack of Electricity in Texas at first was for half an hour and it came back after a while, it went off for an hour and came back, then 2 hours without electricity and at one point the electricity simply didn't come back almost for a week, and that left millions of people with temperatures below zero without heating, in addition the construction or a lot of it at least is a rapid dry construction, these constructions depend a lot on the electricity working.
People say during the event that no one was prepared with food because no one ever thought they would need it, that is, they have huge supermarkets, there is always gasoline, so people say that they had almost nothing in the house and when they started to run out Realizing that things were getting ugly and they wanted to go shopping, they saw that the roads were completely frozen.
The people who survived this event say that it was something traumatic, terrible that until today they have not recovered, many of them have lost people, and they themselves are preparing, on their property, today everyone is buying generators, everyone is trying to have alternative forms of heating such as firewood, many of them are also buying bottles of water and food, everyone says that something like that is not going to bother us anymore.
We see a state like Texas, which is one of the states that represents an economy as if it were a country, one of the largest economies in the world, not the United States, especially because of the large amount of oil in Texas, we see How an unprecedented snow storm managed to cause the entire system to crash, communications, and especially electricity, with which the entire city was paralyzed.
What do we learn from all this, that also in a super rich, super advanced place with a very powerful economy, social chaos can be reached, similar to being in the middle of Evo, that is, without any technology, without electricity; So I recommend no matter where you live, no matter what wonderful situation you are in, have something alternative when it comes to your food, heat and water.
