Up NEPA: Nigerian family in Texas jubilate as power is restored
A Nigerian family residing in Texas went wild in jubilation as power was restored to their home.
The heavy snow experienced in some parts of the US resulted in a power outage that lasted for days.
The Nigerian family began shouting ”Up NEPA” immediately power was restored today February 18.
Texax residents were seen in a video lining up to fetch water amid power outage.
The excessive cold has sent energy demand skyrocketing. In Texas, 4.3 million customers were without electricity as of 8:45 p.m. Eastern, according to poweroutage.us, ahead of what was expected to be one of the state’s coldest nights on record, with most areas falling to the single digits or lower.
At least one person, a homeless man in Harris County, had died from suspected exposure to the cold, the Weather Channel reported.
Officials urged residents not to travel, as social media videos proliferated of cars and trucks sliding down roads out of control.
According to operators, the bulk of the power loss in Texas came from natural gas suppliers as pipelines froze, making it difficult for plants to get the fuel they needed.
