We see it coming due to the increasingly common and intense storms that are resulting the changing climate while at the same time Texas' refusal to enhance grid redundancy, resiliency, or do basically anything to help their constituents.
There's only so much you can do (nothing really) to stop trees and limbs from falling onto power lines. There's no action Houston could feasibly take to make it this not happen. Nothing.
