I remember hearing about that. It's sad when people lose their lives due to something like the weather. It's just so senseless to me.Yup, thanks to the idiots who run our state government, we had "The Big Freeze" of 2021 here in Texas. Over 400 people died, billions in damage. No good reason for it. Just hubris.
Psychopoodle and I slept by the fireplace, and I shut off the water so the pipes couldn't burst. I had my camping gear to cook with and maintain some small level of comfort. Lots of five gallon buckets of water so the toilets could flush. That's a big thing you need to plan for.
