No one lives here for the weather

[@donmikeanova]

At this point who cares how much it costs we've been without power for a week now

[@gloriavillegas2346]

4 days ago, don't make it week, but we still have a lot of people without power. I'm sure our electric bill is going to sky rocket.

[@donmikeanova]

Everything I've been looking at on our side of town we won't be getting power until Wednesday

[@helenpauls1496]

Remember this and vote out your useless Republican senators.

[@Concepcion30]

It’s not just property and infrastructure damage. As I found out yesterday due to the power loss, some grocery stores had to toss their entire frozen and chilled sections.

[@Abel_Girma91]

I would like to thank the utility and tree cutting service workers from texas and out of state for helping getting the power back on

Companies that build weatherproof buildings are going to be busy.

Election year, increase every month till November 5th. Forget Clin Eastwood, not this time.

You can't rely only on electricity this is why we have the Rodeo so you realize that sometimes in emergencies you rely on other ways. like the Amish for instance or Using a BBQ pit to cook food. That is what we normally do after hurricanes. You have to have a back up way of living like a frontier way of living like in YellowStone.

Buy a whole house generator.

Happen more often??? Come again 😭

[@Cha1933]

So what you going to do to help the people of Texas Mr Abbott

[@helenpauls1496]

Nothing! As usual.

[@donmikeanova]

Not a damn thing

[@geterdonetexas-ye2io]

It’s ok Abbott said we got the money to fix Houston we just wasted some on Mexico border remember 😂😂😂😂😂

[@andrewanderson5948]

What’s so funny about this. You people laugh at everything. Next week it might be Florida, NY. And you going to make some pale joke

[@christinerisden5799]

Abbott has been on pain drugs for years. Since he was 28. He is paralyzed from his waist down. That's true . He has his daily maintenance plan. 1:18

[@arnoldalvarado6249]

Protecting Texas Border is not a waste of money! Saves Biden giving away more US Citizens money to illegals!

[@daniellehand9412]

Well shit we better hurry up and ask Bill gates what to do about climate change man since he's god ya know 😂
