Why would anyone have a light fixture turned on while water is dripping over it? I know Texans aren’t used to the cold, but they do understand how electricity works, right?

Apparently these ceiling fans hold up better under ice that the wind turbines. 😂

Sigh.

It was probably on when the power went out, which killed the heat and caused pipes to burst. (In Texas, many homes are built on slabs, and the plumbing runs through the attic space.)

The fan started up again when the power came back on, and the homeowners probably came home to this scene.

Now, understanding how electricity works, are you going to reach for the wall switch to turn off that ceiling fan?

Apartment walkway light that are on 24/7 and cannot be switched off so burglars or rapist cannot shut them off and do some bad deeds in the surprise of darkness.

I am guessing it was just on, and then the pipes froze and burst.

I am guessing that in warmer climates they are not use to thinking about those kind of things.
Just like up north the first snow of the year we use to drive around in empty parking lots ..to practice how to slide and slow brake.

Maybe the wind is blowing it.

Or some poor wind turbine has fostered an illegitimate fan.
