Vehicles drive down East 7th Street as power outages continue to darken most of East Austin, Texas on Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2021. Power outages in Texas have dropped to below a half million, but the state is still facing major problems with drinking water systems. The stateâÄ™s power grid manager, the Electric Reliability of Council of Texas, says the remaining outages are largely weather-related and not ones that were forced to stabilize the stateâÄ™s power grid.
