Nick "Nmplol" was streaming Forza Horizon 5 during his latest stream. His session, however, was cut off mid-way due to a power outage. He tweeted about the incident shortly after his stream ended abruptly.
Nmplol is a resident of Texas, which is notorious for its intense winter storms. Texas was hit by a severe storm in 2021 that left over 3.5 million citizens without power.
Nick began his stream by discussing the weather with his Twitch chat. He described the winter outside as "icy and frozen." He also expressed his desire to go outside to explore the snowstorm.
The streamer was playing Forza Horizon 5, a popular racing game developed by Playground games, along with his partner and fellow Twitch streamer Malena. Barely half an hour into the game, the streamers lost electricity in their home, leading to a sudden end to their livestream.
Nick soon updated his viewers on the situation via Twitter. Adding a cryptic message at the end, he stated:
This is a reference to the sudden winter storm Texas faced the previous year, which led to power outages that lasted for days. The citizens of the state were left unprepared. Widespread water shortages and a lack of warm clothing left people stranded in the dark.
Several streamers found their way to Mizkif's house in Austin, Texas, seeking shelter from the harsh conditions. This included stars like Jschlatt and TrainwrecksTV, who had to be 'rescued' by Esfand. Esfand's stream of his car journey to Train created some hilarious moments.
The sudden snowstorm left millions stranded in their state as temperatures plummeted, causing everything from aquariums to water pipes to freeze. Due to the sudden cold, infrastructure couldn't cope, causing widespread power outages.
