I barely survived the nights I sleep in the car before the snow... now I have to survive the snow, no stimulus check except for the first one they gave out last year and then no food or restrooms because of the pandemic.

@@gokussblue6142 I give money and snacks to the homeless. Most are thrilled to get even like a subway sandwich and someone who will talk to them. We keep our shed open with water and non perishable food, a space heater and bedding for people and animals especially now when shelters are packed. There's more good people in the world than ugly people. Thank you for giving to the less fortunate!
They turn on the damn electricity for 2 hours in morning and it’s off the whole night till next day. It’s freezing. I pray for homeless people and animals out in the cold ❤️
Who are people praying to and what are they praying for? Is "God" not aware of what's going on in America? Wasn't he around before the country was even found.
Is an investigation really necessary? It's not exactly a secret that America's infrastructure is failing all over the place due to lack of funding and upkeep. If a cold snap is all it takes to knock out power to half the country, then things aren't looking good... Some private company somewhere decided that CEO/shareholder bonuses were more important than safeguarding the nation's power grid, and some local GOP official getting campaign contributions from said company thought that was an excellent idea. There. I just saved you years of investigating.
Sanya Trusty you are SOOO correct. Reminds me of the Dominican Republic. Poor people down there who are suffering....and now Americans have been suffering for a year now. Third world is the right term Where are you from?😊
lesson here - respect people of your so called "3rd world countries". your masters made you to understand certain species go through such hardships. right? keep on not fearing God, the Maker of all things!
The US has become a third world country. The middle class is shrinking and our infrastructure is falling apart while billionaires keep getting wealthier.

Lol, my job actually did try to bring everyone in but just to cook for the employees and their close relatives. Without power the freezer food is getting ruined so they're making feast for us to survive and extras to take home.
Well if you turn it off it acts as an insulated enclosed room. So yes a few blankets or foam on the inside base, a nice TV and your favorite hot chic or hot soup and you could be 10 centgrade warmer.
@Flimflam They can cover some body parts or bedding in household aluminium foil. It refleks heat back to the body. In high altitude survival many people carry exactly that but call it a space blanket. Ambulance crews use them also because they help keep body warmth in. A small camping tilly light may not be able to heat a whole house room but it can sure warm up the inside of a large chest deep freezer. You could even erect a tent in side a house room which again helps to isolate warmth and prevent heat loss from the body. It can be very cosy with two of even a family.
@Flimflam It usually is when your predominatly Republican and it's at least in fair taste. Why do you think there was so much 9/11 jokes and why it got overlooked so much?
Whenever an official says “we will learn from this” they’ve most likely have told this could happen, but little or nothing was done. Expect resignations and firings to come.
But they do learn, learn not to learn. Officials like this are incapable of learning because they are robots, dehumanised, no common sense, no thinking straight, just have minds that are corrupt

@Obidiah Fire honey it was NOT 400 years. America is only 245 years old. The USA was founded in 1776 and slavery was banned in 1865. Meaning it lasted in the USA for 89 years. Before that, you can take your complaints up with England and France who owned and made laws for all settlements until we got our independence and slowly started breaking up all the systems and crappy laws they had in place - slavery being one of them. If you were seriously taught that Americans endorsed slavery for 400 years your history teacher needs to go back to school, or else was one he!! of a liar.

@@kortneybiggs7031 #LETemFREEZE #WICKEDtexas La Matanza (1910-1920) La Matanza ("The Massacre" or "The Slaughter") and the Hora de Sangre ("Hour of Blood")[1] were a series of attacks and lynchings of Mexican ethnics by white Texans between 1910 and 1920 in the midst of tension between the United States and Mexico during the Mexican Revolution.[2] These violent acts and killings were committed by Texan vigilantes and law enforcement, such as the Texas Rangers,[3][4][5] during their operations against bandit raids known as the Bandit Wars.[2] At least 571 Mexican Americans were lynched between 1848 and 1928, 20% of whom were lynched in the 1910s; in total, an estimated 5,000 Mexican Americans were killed during this period.[2][6] Between 1865 and 1920, more Mexican Americans were lynched in the Southwest than African Americans.[7] Extreme levels of violence and the total denial of civil liberties during this period were justified by racism.[8][9] Ethnic Mexicans in South Texas were placed on blacklists kept by Texas Ranger officials if they were decided to be "suspicious." In most instances, individuals placed on these lists would simply "disappear."[10] As early as 1875, newspaper reports described the Rangers as "fomenting anti-Mexican mob violence along the border."[1] Ranger violence reached its height from 1915-19 in response to increasing tensions initially escalated by the Plan de San Diego. This period was referred to as the Hora de Sangre by Mexicans in South Texas, many of whom fled for their lives to escape state terror in Texas. Estimates of individuals murdered range from hundreds to thousands. Many of these murders were concealed and went unreported.

Or you just bundle in blankets and wait til morning..the biggest challenge besides the power is no way to get to stores to get even propane or water and the gas stations having no gas..they dont have the trucks to dump salt or dirt ...its hailing icy rain..good thoughts..tomorrow it should be better
Compared to the states like Michigan, Texas has zero infrastructure to deal with snow and ice. Same goes for the public. Nobody got snow tires. The few has them now have to avoid others hitting them. In Canada here and gas fireplace are common, and they generally stay connected without power.
Quick tips from a Canadian to folks down south: 1) Put on gloves/mittens, socks, masks, and hoods/hats 2) Clean yourself with a wet rag instead of taking a shower 4) if you have a pet or a child/spouse , hug them and huddle together under blankets. The combined body heat will keep you all warmer.
5) If you have candles... put a lit candle down inside of a large coffee can, cooking pot or a large terracotta flower pot. The walls of the container will heat up and provide radiant heat. And the container will protect against fire. 6) Go back to the Canadian’s number 1) ... it’s the best advice. Layer your clothes, (four layers at least) and WEAR SOMETHING ON YOUR HEAD... a stocking cap or winter hat. 90% of your body heat exits through your skull.

I'm in the central Texas area and it really does feel like we're going through a man-made natural disaster because of the irresponsible manner in which the power grid was managed. We had power today but we didn't have power for 3 days and we still do not have running water in our town which means that we have to boil snow for drinking water. I understand that this is unprecedented but this feels more tragic than when we first locked down for Covid a year ago.
@J H as someone from Texas I can assure you we definitely did try our best but then again considering that Texas hasn’t experienced temperatures this low in about 100 years our houses and pipelines were not built to sustain these freezing temperatures, and we were also not informed of the mandatory blackouts that occurred in our neighborhoods.
@Cattle Rancher bro we know, like I said it’s not that we’re weak we just never experienced something like this, on top of the cold we got no water, no power electricity, almost every store is closed, bro we got nothing! Thankfully where I live there is still water but no power. Remember it’s not that we’re weak we were just unprepared.
@G Bogart dude. People who live in the south east Texas NEVER THOUGHT SOMETHING LILE THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN!! Ignorant people like you is the reason why the situation is getting worse bc obviously people are not taking this seriously.

@@mandyg9119 💔 Wow, do you always assume the worst about people? Why do you think maybe it’s been hard on me? That’s exactly why it’s been hard, because I’ve been consumed with helping my loved ones and making sure they’re all safe as well as making sure things are continuing to run smoothly where I am, which has been a part-time job of itself. I work from home but have gotten little done. My door has been open to all who can get here, but even those comfortable driving on ice aren’t wanting to risk it as it’s that bad here, and I’m housesitting in a home at least 30 minutes away from all my loved ones. I have low gas pressure, so my fireplace is out. If my power goes, I’ll be worse off than my loved ones without power but who have a fireplace, so coming here may not be a good idea even if they want to risk it. I’ve been doing a lot over my phone to help people, share ideas, provide moral support, etc. It was almost non-stop for two days until everyone was situated and I knew they were safe. One friend had no choice but to drive to another friend’s as her house got into the 30s. She was having major phone issues. I was able to get a message through to her to use her laptop to charge her phone-that enabled her to reach out to nearby people and find a place to go. The bright, warm home I’m normally in is dark and cold. I have most of the shades down to conserve heat, and I have the heat turned down and most of the lights off to conserve energy as we’re all being asked to do. The cats know something is off and are needing more attention. I’m extremely thankful things aren’t worse, but I’m also very ready for things to return to normal. I have power, yes, but it’s been hard regardless...

Most skyscrapers have backup generators that keep power going to them. I have one for my house and enough fuel to run for a month straight. You never know when an emergency might happen better to be prepared.
It’s a problem with the construction of the grid. Multiple hospitals and homeless care centers that cannot under any circumstance lose power are in the area and can’t be split apart from that same grid
Some people just don’t know. The fact that so many people do that to commit suicide must not be something they were aware of. Pretty stupid, but there are plenty of stupid people out there.
Yeah, but we were ignorant and blissfully unaware that covid was present during those two months as well cause our President said "I ALWAYS loved to downplay it(Covid) I always did. So we didn't know that covid was among us!! 😳 🤔
They were told years ago to prepare for this type of weather pattern changes . But decided to look the other way. Our hearts are saddened for the many families and friends that are suffering .
If you can light up the whole downtown area that means there's electricity that means there's heat have the people go into these high-rise buildings get out of their houses so they don't freeze to death
If you have any camping tent set them up in your house it's a lot warmer in a tent if you have any clay pots put candles under a bill Heat the room if you have a crock pot it's made out of porcelain it will also heat up with a candle under it set it on to small bricks to let a little air stick the candle underneath and it will heat up the porcelain

When places that aren’t used to or equipped to handle major snowfall events are hit with major snowfall/ice, it becomes really problematic. Power outages. Downed power lines from lots of trees falling (some areas of the US have neighborhoods with lots of trees everywhere, especially in neighborhoods.) Slippery roads that weren’t treated because the resources were not there as well big, steep hills (US is not a flat land). People who are used to big snow may laugh because they don’t know what it’s like to be severely underprepared for severe weather with a Government that cares very little about individual lives and mostly about capital (aka ... money and corporations). Which is why you see that picture of downtown Texas completely lit up and everywhere surrounding totally blackout.

“Clean house “ as far as the politicians are concerned in the great state of Texas. They failed us. As far as ERCOT and top executives in the power companies are concerned PROSECUTE them!!!
Why? It's not their fault. They cannot overhaul the power grid for an every hundred year occurrence. Take out your generator, your emergency food and water supply, your battery operated lanternsetc. Then check on your neighbors. Ultimately you are responsible for you. Not the government, not anyone else.
@@ranrachvl This is a good time to note the electrical Grid in Texas was deregulated, privatized, and removed from interconnected Networks to avoid Federal Regulation and increase profits to a small number of wealthy individuals.
Heated trucks are extremely dangerous for real diesese outbreaks. What they need to do is start converting some of their cafes and schools into emergacy shelters for people to start doggy piling into, but I don't know if covid regs will allow it
@@erika6473 The trucks are actually a threat without covid all it takes is one person with a cold, then everybody's nervous system is going to fry when their core temps are raising and falling. It also takes to much to heat a bunch of trucks and the space fills way to quickly so resources will get spread to thin, but they really do need to start converting the schools at least those tend to come with wide open spaces and a mess hall
@@erika6473 I don't know why it's taking so long for emergency action. Schools usually have generators of their own, fully supplied kitchens, bulk food storage, and can usually layout cots and sleeping bags pretty well the only question is will the Texas schools or similar buildings accept insulation and can the floors be made to hold heat instead of dispersing it?

I’m in San Antonio. Last night, we lost power at 6pm and it didn’t come back on till 2 pm the today. And that was only for one hour. We are in the dark again. It got to 45° in the house last night. This is beyond aggravating
Alot of us are in the same position. I live just outside Rockport tx and our power went out Sunday and never came back on. Gonna get worse since the gas stations are out of fuel, So generators won't running much longer.
45° is pretty harsh. But we went down to 30° in Dallas. However, rolling blackouts are actually starting to "roll" now. And we have power every few hours. Hope it's the same for you.

Yup seen it -43 and had to go to work
When the inside of your freezer is warmer than your bedroom.
Well if you turn it off it acts as an insulated enclosed room. So yes a few blankets or foam on the inside base, a nice TV and your favorite hot chic or hot soup and you could be 10 centgrade warmer.
This comment is underrated
@Flimflam They can cover some body parts or bedding in household aluminium foil. It refleks heat back to the body. In high altitude survival many people carry exactly that but call it a space blanket. Ambulance crews use them also because they help keep body warmth in.
A small camping tilly light may not be able to heat a whole house room but it can sure warm up the inside of a large chest deep freezer. You could even erect a tent in side a house room which again helps to isolate warmth and prevent heat loss from the body. It can be very cosy with two of even a family.
Damn

La Matanza (1910-1920)
La Matanza ("The Massacre" or "The Slaughter") and the Hora de Sangre ("Hour of Blood")[1] were a series of attacks and lynchings of Mexican ethnics by white Texans between 1910 and 1920 in the midst of tension between the United States and Mexico during the Mexican Revolution.[2] These violent acts and killings were committed by Texan vigilantes and law enforcement, such as the Texas Rangers,[3][4][5] during their operations against bandit raids known as the Bandit Wars.[2] At least 571 Mexican Americans were lynched between 1848 and 1928, 20% of whom were lynched in the 1910s; in total, an estimated 5,000 Mexican Americans were killed during this period.[2][6] Between 1865 and 1920, more Mexican Americans were lynched in the Southwest than African Americans.[7] Extreme levels of violence and the total denial of civil liberties during this period were justified by racism.[8][9]
Ethnic Mexicans in South Texas were placed on blacklists kept by Texas Ranger officials if they were decided to be "suspicious." In most instances, individuals placed on these lists would simply "disappear."[10] As early as 1875, newspaper reports described the Rangers as "fomenting anti-Mexican mob violence along the border."[1] Ranger violence reached its height from 1915-19 in response to increasing tensions initially escalated by the Plan de San Diego. This period was referred to as the Hora de Sangre by Mexicans in South Texas, many of whom fled for their lives to escape state terror in Texas. Estimates of individuals murdered range from hundreds to thousands. Many of these murders were concealed and went unreported.

Compared to the states like Michigan, Texas has zero infrastructure to deal with snow and ice. Same goes for the public. Nobody got snow tires. The few has them now have to avoid others hitting them. In Canada here and gas fireplace are common, and they generally stay connected without power.
Quick tips from a Canadian to folks down south:
1) Put on gloves/mittens, socks, masks, and hoods/hats
2) Clean yourself with a wet rag instead of taking a shower
4) if you have a pet or a child/spouse , hug them and huddle together under blankets. The combined body heat will keep you all warmer.
5) If you have candles... put a lit candle down inside of a large coffee can, cooking pot or a large terracotta flower pot. The walls of the container will heat up and provide radiant heat. And the container will protect against fire.

This is what happens when you politicize science unfortunately.

I'm in the central Texas area and it really does feel like we're going through a man-made natural disaster because of the irresponsible manner in which the power grid was managed. We had power today but we didn't have power for 3 days and we still do not have running water in our town which means that we have to boil snow for drinking water. I understand that this is unprecedented but this feels more tragic than when we first locked down for Covid a year ago.
I am sorry to hear. Please be careful.
Please people, its going to get worse!, We need to pay attention to our environment!. Poor Texas :(
@J H as someone from Texas I can assure you we definitely did try our best but then again considering that Texas hasn’t experienced temperatures this low in about 100 years our houses and pipelines were not built to sustain these freezing temperatures, and we were also not informed of the mandatory blackouts that occurred in our neighborhoods.
@@ooferdoober140 Thanks to all the republicans you elected. -_-
@J H that’s because we live in Texas and we never experienced something like this, that’s why we were such unprepared
@Cattle Rancher bro we know, like I said it’s not that we’re weak we just never experienced something like this, on top of the cold we got no water, no power electricity, almost every store is closed, bro we got nothing! Thankfully where I live there is still water but no power. Remember it’s not that we’re weak we were just unprepared.

Rub it in why dont u
@@Iceis_Phoenix
She’s not rubbing it in-she’s just sharing her situation. I’ve had power and heat the whole time as well while all of my loved ones have not, but it’s been hard on all of us regardless.
@@mandyg9119
💔 Wow, do you always assume the worst about people? Why do you think maybe it’s been hard on me? That’s exactly why it’s been hard, because I’ve been consumed with helping my loved ones and making sure they’re all safe as well as making sure things are continuing to run smoothly where I am, which has been a part-time job of itself. I work from home but have gotten little done.
My door has been open to all who can get here, but even those comfortable driving on ice aren’t wanting to risk it as it’s that bad here, and I’m housesitting in a home at least 30 minutes away from all my loved ones. I have low gas pressure, so my fireplace is out. If my power goes, I’ll be worse off than my loved ones without power but who have a fireplace, so coming here may not be a good idea even if they want to risk it.
I’ve been doing a lot over my phone to help people, share ideas, provide moral support, etc. It was almost non-stop for two days until everyone was situated and I knew they were safe. One friend had no choice but to drive to another friend’s as her house got into the 30s. She was having major phone issues. I was able to get a message through to her to use her laptop to charge her phone-that enabled her to reach out to nearby people and find a place to go.
The bright, warm home I’m normally in is dark and cold. I have most of the shades down to conserve heat, and I have the heat turned down and most of the lights off to conserve energy as we’re all being asked to do. The cats know something is off and are needing more attention. I’m extremely thankful things aren’t worse, but I’m also very ready for things to return to normal.
I have power, yes, but it’s been hard regardless...
People with love in their hearts always think the best of people... you might want to check yours as well as try to have a little compassion and understanding for people who are in a bad situation. Your attitude is why our country is such a mess. Such an arrogant, quick-to-judge, loveless attitude is truly asinine. Please re-evaluate your heart. It’s very damaging-not only to others, but especially to yourself. 💔💔💔 Judge others as you would like to be judged...
Hope you all stay safe. Please be aware with generator safety. Just hoping everyone is okay. Especially during power outages. Remember that carbon monoxide is dangerous. Hope you all stay safe

As a Canadian who is used to snow like this, this is foreign to me... People dying from snow? I could never imagine, my prayers are with you
People living in the area that has snow sometime during are going to be prepared.
When places that aren’t used to or equipped to handle major snowfall events are hit with major snowfall/ice, it becomes really problematic. Power outages. Downed power lines from lots of trees falling (some areas of the US have neighborhoods with lots of trees everywhere, especially in neighborhoods.) Slippery roads that weren’t treated because the resources were not there as well big, steep hills (US is not a flat land). People who are used to big snow may laugh because they don’t know what it’s like to be severely underprepared for severe weather with a Government that cares very little about individual lives and mostly about capital (aka ... money and corporations). Which is why you see that picture of downtown Texas completely lit up and everywhere surrounding totally blackout.

Alot of us are in the same position. I live just outside Rockport tx and our power went out Sunday and never came back on. Gonna get worse since the gas stations are out of fuel, So generators won't running much longer.
Here in small town central TX, most without water and electricity here. Asking to reserve gas and electricity if you can. Many sleeping in cars
Boo hoo. I had to go to school in 0 to negative temperatures
45° is pretty harsh. But we went down to 30° in Dallas. However, rolling blackouts are actually starting to "roll" now. And we have power every few hours. Hope it's the same for you.
