Blizzards in Louisiana? Record Cold Front Threatens Southern U.S. with Power Grid Failures and Extreme Weather

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis, warns of a record-breaking cold front that could cause blizzards in Louisiana and extreme weather across the southern United States. With temperatures predicted to drop significantly below historic norms, the region’s power grid is ill-equipped to handle the surge in demand for heating. Citing a similar 2021 disaster in Houston that resulted in hundreds of deaths and widespread power outages, McIntyre emphasizes the dire risks of another grid failure in such severe conditions.
