It's like a domino effect in Texas. Just one thing after another. The pandemic itself, then the winter storm and now a water crisis. I don't even live in Texas, but I have profound compassion and sympathy for every Texan there.

I wouldn’t want to live in a state that the local government doesn’t care about me.
Be safe Texas.

All these nice houses and you don’t have your house insured? I don’t get it. I don’t get all these nice houses having water bursts and you don’t know how you are going to pay for it ! We live in America people start saving and spending less to be prepared to pay for your nice houses if they break down in anyway.
