Texas’ grid operators announced Friday that the state's electrical system has returned to normal for the first time since a blast of wintry weather knocked out power to more than 4 million customers earlier this week. As of Friday afternoon, around 180,000 homes and businesses across the state are still waiting for the electricity to come back on, according to PowerOutage.us. Meanwhile, water distribution sites have opened up in major cities in Texas Friday. About 13 million Texans have been placed under an advisory to boil drinking water following the widespread power outages, which impacted operations at water treatment plants.
