I had to evacuate from wildfires 3 times in 2020. Northern Ca. If I had to put up with that bs in the winter as well it would drive me insane. Luckily I have plenty of fire wood and food, so I can withstand the cold and no power far better than my house and all my belongings burning down. No mountains between texas and canada, so the potential for this is always there, no so in nor cal, mountains all around and prevailing coastal flow= mild weather ... relatively speaking. dont mind the 110* in the shade
