Some 30,000 in San Antonio without power as winter storm batters city

[douglas9]

Power outages and road closures are being reported across San Antonio as a winter storm settles in across the city. Although not expected to be as intense or as long as last February's deadly Winter Storm Uri, the weather is already causing disruptions.

Officials with municipal utility CPS Energy said crews are out in full force trying to keep the lights on. Despite those efforts, more than 32,000 customers are without power at press time. The outages are primarily in the northern half of the city, hardest hit by sleet and freezing rain

Although the number of customers without power briefly improved to 20,000, the number climbed back to around 30,000 in by late morning. According to an analysis by Texas Public Radio, that compared to just 472 customer outages experienced by Austin Energy, which serves that nearby Texas metro.

1. Isn't that the cue for Ted "Cancun" Cruz

to head to Cancun.

Or, how about this? Since he was born in Canada, he's entitled to a Canadian passport. (Someone should find out if he has one.)
With his Canadian passport, he can return to his family roots - in Cuba.
