| 摘要： | The teeth-rattling cold weather that blew through the South almost two weeks ago was highly unusual, and it showed, particularly in its effects on the power grid. Texas, in particular, made news for its rolling-and lengthy-blackouts, even as temperatures dipped near zero in places. And it wasn't just homes and businesses that were without power in the cold. On the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway, both the Colorado River Locks and the Brazos River Floodgates were without grid power for close to three days, starting on Monday, February 15. While backup generators came on at Brazos, the cold weather rendered the generators at the Colorado River Locks inoperable for several days. Despite that challenge, lock personnel at the Colorado River Locks soldiered on, maintaining lock service while basically living out of their work vehicles to stay warm. |
