Oh man. I am so sorry. I have a family in McKinney and a stupid woke friend outside of Austin. I’m in Colorado so I’m used to the cold but humid cold is the worst.
Oh my gosh! Also in Texas. We have power 45 minutes on and 45 minutes off. I'm so sorry you don't have anything. That's crazy! My brother didn't have any electricity or water all day, so he drove in the ice and snow to our sister's house where they are having the on and off power thing, too. Try to stay warm.
Yes ? the top articles on my search showed that they were written recently so I just saw the first part of the date and didn’t pay close enough attention to the year. Good catch!
This sucks here in Texas. I haven't had power for 12 hours no lights no heat and it 7 degrees outside.

Guess they don’t want Texas to secede Edit: I didn’t pay attention to the year and in my confusion with looking at recent articles, thought it was recent as well. Still interesting info though.
*2011 probably didn't notice the year there ?

Is Texas preparing to go all in?
