>> The storm that caused such a problem is a once every ten years storm.

This is incorrect. That storm set multiple records, most notably the longest freezing streak the state has ever experienced [1]

Houston, San Antonio, Austin and Waco hit 30 year lows while Dallas set 80 year lows.

It also hit the entire state at the same time.

Maybe there's validity to some of the rest of your post, but that storm was absolutely not a regular occurance.
