Welp.....at least I'm not a self righteous jerk.
10 degrees outside.......34 degrees inside my house.....no electricity/no alternate heat. Dogs were safer in my house, with their food/water/beds than outside with ice/wind, dear.
And while I didn't go to Cancun.....I did have to slide across town, because with no phone service, that was the only way to make sure my FIL wasn't in trouble, since he ALSO didn't have electricity/alternate heat and was determined to stay in his house.
In fact, Jane, NO ONE in our small town had electricity for DAYS. We didn't have brown outs we were in black out.....stores closed, no access to gas pumps, water, food, etc.
BTW, I'm proud of my community that worked their asses off trying to take care of each other VS sitting around waiting for someone to save them...... or griping because Cruz went to Cancun.
If that makes ME a jerk........that's just fine with me.

Gee....I say you should’ve had the SAME police escort, to your dear FILs house, that Ted got to the airport, for his Cancun trip.
Ditto in our town...for the the black outs.
Niece’s area was without power and water for three days. Her dad brought her a generator to keep the heat on...for her/her family and her dogs....as he thought 34º +/- was too cold for ALL of them.
Everyone in our surrounding area, on municiple water, are on boil water notices, now.
