"...friends and family, or, without options[bucha cheese eating surrender monkeys], hunkered down in their homes watching pipes burst and the water in toilet bowls freeze"

People don’t tend to have those things in Texas. We just do not normally need them.

I have lived in this state all my life, and I can recall having a solid week of subfreezing temps about once every 10 years.

I wouldn’t have the stuff I have if I weren’t a packrat.
