Basically our power grid is overwhelmed, water pipes are freezing because of the temperatures and people are without power and water STATEWIDE

I know this probably doesn’t mean a whole lot to those of y’all in smaller states. But keep in mind Texas is the second largest state in the union. It’s the largest continental state. The ENTIRE STATE was under a winter weather warning yesterday.

Nearly 4 million homes and businesses were without power early Tuesday in Texas, where temperatures dipped into the single digits overnight.

Deadly winter storm knocks out power for millions in Texas

And people are having a laugh at our expense. We’re not prepared for this weather. Our infrastructure cannot handle it. Our houses are built to keep us COOL in the summer because our summers get up over 100 degrees. Insulation that is mandatory in northern houses would kill us in the summer.
