Update (2149ET): Oncor Electric Delivery, Texas' largest transmission and electric distribution utility, warns customers to "be prepared for additional outages and stay weather aware due to an active Winter Storm Warning." 

People are freezing in their own homes.

Update (2139 ET): The cold snap in Texas has forced the shutdown of "refineries, oil wells, and meat plants, disrupted shipments of soybeans and corn, and is still leaving more than 3 million customers without electricity could continue to keep parts of Texas in the dark for several days," according to Bloomberg. 

With more than 3 million customers without power, there is no way ERCOT will restore power tonight. It could be a couple of days before full power is restored. 

Bloomberg also said fuel storages are developing in the western half of the state.
