So, an update from Texas. Monday morning at 1:30 AM, our house lost power. It was snowing outside, and temperatures were below freezing. We woke up and the room temperature was 55. We bundled up, used our cars to stay warm, and were told the power would be back Tuesday. Evacuation was impossible due to an icestorm that froze the roads over. Thursday morning at 845 AM, the power came back for the first time. The room temperature was 42 in the house. Its been about 45 minutes of power, we don't know how long it will last, but our space heaters are on full blast, we boiled some water, heated up some food, and are for now, okay.
Its been absolutely horrible for three days. I'm glad our Senator was able to evacuate his family to Cancun, and our governor was able to go on Fox News and blame the nonexistent Green New Deal. When Texans finally recover from this ordeal, there is going to be hell to pay.
