This article seems pretty brutal. Company that recently pleaded guilty to bribery failed to properly plan for disaster response, is in charge of this cluster fuck.

400k lost power on the 6th and 196k people were without power 3 days later and some won't have it back until the 15th. And the state asks county officials if they need help, which they refuse claiming to have it under control.

9 days without power is truely batshit.

Yeah, guilty of bribery and took half a billion dollars to make the grid resilient and cut down branches that might fall on power lines, only for the grid to not be resilient and several branches falling on power lines.
