Wetterdew 02/17/21 12:50:28 AM #5:	I've had no power for 48 hours, my apartment quickly fell to like 20 degrees Today a water pipe ruptured and flooded the place with freezing water. and yes I was letting water out properly. In response to all the flooding, they just shut down water for the entire complex. Now those people don't have heat, electricity, or even water, and there is further freezing weather for the next few days. I'm only ok because I abandoned the apartment and drove to my friend who has power bc he lives next to a hospital. So yes it's really that bad Also not all texans have much winter clothing --- Talking about video games? it's ok to just disagree with each other on the internet.

SolidShadow3 02/17/21 1:05:42 AM #11:	It's not like the north where people are prepared for it. Theres probably like 1 person per neighborhood with the tools to deal with it, if that. I suspect lots of people are burning shit in their backyards for warmth.

JBaLLEN66 02/17/21 2:03:09 AM #15:	SolidShadow3 posted... Makes sense. Not everyone has that luxury tho all of the hotels either had no power or had no vacancy (all of texas and anywhere before West of Baton Rouge, LA), I was thankful my boss let me call off today so I could make the drive to New Orleans. My apartment lost power yesterday at 6pm and I didn't trust the officials to have it it on/keep it on tomorrow so I made the decision to leave :( I just want to make it clear that it's not just Texas that endured this arctic storm, but it's only the state of Texas that failed its citizens.
