San Antonio has yet to experience a freeze this fall season, but the 2021 freeze is likely on the forefront of Texans' minds every winter season.

Starting on Feb. 12, 2021, and continuing through early Feb. 17, 2021, San Antonio saw below-freezing temperatures. Millions of people across Texas experienced power outages due to the storm, causing deaths due to hyperthermia, carbon monoxide poisoning and lack of access to medical equipment.

‘Power Grid Failure: What Went Wrong,’ the collaboration between KSAT Explains and KSAT Investigates, examines the February storm and its aftermath. You can watch the special here.
