I would be curious to see the split between upstate and downstate New York. They might as well be different states.

Denver and Boulder have a good amount of tech. A bit surprised it comes out ahead of Texas though. Also the UK and Germany being about the same is interesting. Germany does have a slightly larger population, but of course the UK is natively English speaking.
Texas is without power at the moment.

It makes sense to have finer granularity for the poll options people will actually choose.

Only two people in my network of people I know lost power in Texas, one of which was a coworker's neighbor because said coworker's tree dropped a branch on the neighbor's overhead power delivery line.

Not sure if this post still ranks in the morning as it's evening in the EU so probably not many people will answer, while the Americas will. I know there are a lot of people from the EU here.
