AUSTIN, Texas, 20 March, 2021, (TON): Primer figures demonstrate that around 57 individuals kicked the bucket during the February winter storm that crushed Texas.

According to state health officials, the cause of the majority of deaths was hypothermia. This was followed by motor vehicle accidents, carbon monoxide poisoning, medical equipment failure, falls, and fire.

The passing’s happened in 25 areas between Feb. 11 and March 5, the state said. The colder time of year storm deadened enormous segments of Texas, taking out open utilities. At its pinnacle, almost 4.5 million homes were without power and warmth.

The massive storm caused the state electricity grid to be knocked offline. Additionally, the weather prevented electricity from being generated by all power sources, including natural gas, coal, wind and nuclear.

In the fallout, state officials are looking for answers from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which works the force matrix traversing the majority of the state, alongside the Texas Public Utility Commission, which is liable for the tasks of the state's electric and water utilities.
