I keep thinking of the homeless people and critters in this and it makes it that much sadder. Prayers for you all right now.
U don't care and neither does God u ppl walk 🚶 past them everyday and do nothing
@@population-_-420 dang bro! U got issues. Take care of them before it destroys u and everyone around..i give money to most homeless ppl I see
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. Imagine all the uber and Lyft drivers who depend on driving people around? Getting paid pennies. They live in their car's also.
@@population-_-420 heartless truth is still honest.
@@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!
Employers be like "You're still coming to work right?"
LOL. Love Your Comment !!! Governor Greg Abbotts MANSION had POWER. ERCOT INTENTIONALLY SHUT OFF THE TEXAS ENERGY GRID. Under a "STATE OF EMERGENCY ORDER" Signed by your REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT.
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.
Yup seen it -43 and had to go to work
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.
A winter storm in 2011 I think. They had talks about winterizing infrastructures but never made is mandatory is what I heard.
summary of the USA
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
@@TwiDashFTW severly expensive and regulations and it was rare how many snow storms u know of in texas only a few including this one.
I think you’re being too optimistic
Notice how quickly they bring in those "refrigerated trucks" instead of fixing the problem.
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
@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?
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 ❤️
@@spiritspirit8422 not all animals can live with this condition this is texas
@@travisk6221 there are a lot of $5,000 dollar live reef salt water aquariums that are GONE.
all that's going to do is cause flooding of thawed pipes and make things worse.
Just heartbreaking to think how many people and animals are dying 😢😢😢
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.
I would have packed up my car and left to stay in a family's house in a nearby state until power came back on, especially if I had kids. Too cold

Texas is huge, driving hundreds of miles to nearby states in snow and frozen ice is scary. Then surrounded by trucks and big rigs.
@@daniellekirkpatrick9965 I swear it's a hidden agenda to make anybody with sense seem like they're a conspiracy theorists
Texas does not have snow plows and salt trucks. There have been hundreds of car accidents . People could not escape and people could not rescue them. Probably, thousands froze to death. They won't know for up to 90 days the death toll. Waiting for ice to melt on roads to get to people.
I feel like am looking at the news of a third world country. Damn! These poor people
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.
@@keirfarnum6811 indeed, the leaders in charge need to leave , but these issues have existed for decades and have been passed down. Which I can understand, this state doesn’t get snow storms and cold weather. With that combo, and pipes that are exposed are gonna burst.even the cars down there don’t have four wheel drive , it’s an option. It’s a sad 😢 situation.
America is now.. You reap what you sow in my humble opinion
Prayers for Texas and everyone else who’s battling this snowstorm🙏🏾

@@Dwightstjohn-fo8ki we have thing called ERCOT, basically an entity that controls the entire Texas power grid (almost all of Texas, excluding part of the pan handle). I doubt it’s political, but there was definitely something not right going on. There was a lack of management probably.

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.
Lol 😆
US has money for a lot of things but no money to improve and build up the infrastructure.......sad.
love how the answer for crises like this is literally always greed but the media is just stuck in a perpetual state of trying to figure it out
Saying it is one thing, but proving it is another.
There’s no way in hėll that people in Dallas could’ve braved the cold or waited in lines that long to get a COVID-19 vaccine.
This should not be happening. I bet the Government Officials have heat over there in Texas. This is too sad. Its neglect of the people.

When you step outside in 0 below weather and step inside in the warmth, you will always be grateful but this is unfortunate. I figured casualties was a high possibility.
And Tim Boyd, the ex Mayor of Colorado City TX, says "the weak will perish" and the "power companies owe you NOTHING".
"the gov. owes you nothing!" A government is a group of people who decided it would be BEST if they grouped up to provide for each other, rather than deal with the world alone. A proper government takes care of it's people through strong social programs.
If someone thinks that another person, another human doesn't deserve food and shelter, I don't question their politics, I question their morality.
Also check out www.reddit.com/r/LateStageCapitalism/ for some very interesting discussions about that mayor, since that post/tweet he made was deleted.
I am from Eastern Europe and when it's 32- 15 fahrenheit (0C - -10C) I sleep with half open window, since it's very healthy. State of emergency with 15 fahrenheit? Maybe it's time to think about winter tires, power generators and some wood for heating... just in case.
It’s all relative. If Texas heat struck Eastern Europe there’d be similar chaos.
@@johnnyjacuzzi7498 Thank you.
@@johnnyjacuzzi7498 Truth!
The amount of time the energy companies like center point took to prepare and plan for this is ZERO!! We barely got any snow and half the state is out of power. Ridiculous.

@@michealridenoour5320 Thats what i was thinking i live in Erie P.A and let me tell you we get slamned every year i cant remember the last time the power has cut off.
@@luckylibralady5551 The infrastructure in the south is completely different. Not designed for winter weather, but it definitely is concerning that they claim that've had to resort to rolling blackouts.

It's called the Time of Sorrows. God is telling His people that the return of His Son Jesus is imminent. My advice is if you don't know Jesus, get to know Him because we're all going to meet Him someday, whether we want to or not.

"We will learn from this also"

least they saved that money from not upgrading the power grid.
Do they learn though? Seems like the USA constantly repeats the same mistakes .. all in the name of the almighty $$
@@furydeath Just for a few lives. Man it was so worth it.
@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.
@Obidiah Fire I mean when America was the colonies it wasn't America. it was British colonies. British citizens no matter how little say they had in parliament.
May God protect everyone of us, people dying just like that is the most heartbreaking thing that I have watched and also people getting stuck inside their homes without electricity is so hard to even imagine of. Much Love everyone may God ease the pains and sufferings that many are going through right now

I live up North and am on a generator right now. I have family in San Antonio that’s fortunate enough to have come up North multiple times. THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. Simple things like a cheap camping propane stoves make a big difference. Wool blankets are not that expensive. Small generators can be used for many purposes. Prepping for cold does not have to be expensive.

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.

Down town lid lit up I'd be mad. Coldest in the century sound cold af. I'm praying everyone is staying warm
Imagine the Bay Area people who never saw snow moving to Texas and they see this
Yeah or LA
If you have a fireplace in your home you are lucky, assuming you have wood.
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
Walk
@@christinalove6344 no it might actually get worse tommorow cause there's meant to be another big storm tommorow
Firewoods are out of stock everywhere.
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.
oh my gosh. My prayers are with you. I think the USA's people have gone through enough lately. This is so tragic. From Queensland Australia.
Thank you, prayers for all of us! Hang on goná get worse.. 🙏🇺🇸😖
Thank you!
Our thoughts were with you all during those fires, so thank you
This is how apocalyptic movies start.
In switserland they call this weather another day at the office.
Its all in whether you are acclimatized or not, its like they don't even insulate their homes their or have furnaces. Sad how in this day people take so much for granted...
So what in Switzerland you have running warm water heaters and electricity. Like anywhere else cold. This is a phenomenon for super hot Texas
ok but texas is not switzerland. the people are not used to this kind of whether, not to mention houses down in texas were not built for whether like this.
@@chaaaargh weather during the Alamo the Mexican army walked through 15 to 16 inches of snow from yet another unheard of" freak " snowfall... that was 1800s so it does and has happened, Mexico got snow there a couple of years ago . This is just something people should have some kind of preparation for emergencies ... now its just a disaster i pray for texas and surrounding areas.
Its not about the weather. Is about weatherproof buildings and good infrastructure. This weather shows how weak it is. You should invest in beter construction. Build with bricks instead of plasterboard. Provide good insulation. Get an heatoil installation. you have got plenty of oil there.
PLEASE CHECK ON YOUR NEIGHBORS, ESPECIALLY THE ELDERLY. PLEASE
Especially the ones with children!!!
you couldn't even check on the elderlies in Canada! it's a no no!! we could give them the crovid!! well, I don,t give a crap, I'll visit whom I want and they can kma!!

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.
username checks out
@@KMcKee-qn6bo Use ducktape, bags or whatnot to seal drafty windows and doors. Use clear insulation to cover windows. Put layers above of course but also layers below that will help insulate.
Wait what happened to 3? 😅
What if one of your family member got covid
“This is not the northeast, this is a picture of Texas” obviously, if it was the northeast it would be ab a foot of snow lmaooo
1:33 i feel same as this one Journalist felt it, he love his people and care, great man
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.
I have a little 3 month old baby I'm so grateful I have electricity and a warm house to be in 😢. I heard about people freezing to death my aunt's neighbor was frozen to death while sleeping :( my prayers go out for y'all without power.
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

Do people not know where the water shut off is in their homes? Why let it rain in the house like that?
God bless everyone effected by these horrid conditions.
This is what happens when you politicize science unfortunately.
Huh
For over 150 years the first amendment (second part) has been ignored by the right so that they may maintain control over any new sciences with "religion". Tell your followers anyone else is literally evil and elitist and you can get away with dam near anything 😥

It’s very all this bad weather is going on.;(
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 .
they decided global warming was a hoax. but they found enough time to send people down to washington
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
They were also told to repent or die and be cast into hell at his judgment...they made their choice
I’m from Chicago and I’m ready for this weather. Heck, I can live in my truck for a week or so. I have propane heaters, blankets, boots, tools, and food.
They say people that work in fast food restaurants or in the food industry don't matter.
Exactly!
Amen
They want the food but they don't want to pay the people making the food a living wage so that they can buy food as well.

Well, people want to do whatever they want, right? They don't want to listen and do God's will, right? Well, don't complain when God keeps sending you evil. If you don't want to suffer? Do God's will, repent, follow God's commandments, laws and statues. And, don't play church like 98% of the people who call themselves "Christians ".
Governor Greg Abbotts MANSION had POWER. ERCOT INTENTIONALLY SHUT OFF THE TEXAS ENERGY GRID. Under a "STATE OF EMERGENCY ORDER" Signed by your REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT. ERCOT under an "EMERGENCY DISASTER DECLARATION", was ORDERED to INTENTIONALLY Turn off the Power, by ORDERING Utility Companies to "Reduce Demand" and "Rotating Blackouts" Nice Euphemisms for "SHUT OFF THE POWER INTENTIONALLY to RESIDENTIAL HOMES" While they Light up Downtown SkyScrapers and Parks that No one can use!
Devastating situation. I know Texas and affected states will come out stronger because of this. My overdue condolences to the families of the deceased for your loss.
Calling all Billionaires and Millionaires, this is the Time to help Invent the Best Electric Heaters on Earth. This is your chance to help the Earths people.
It’s dependent on 1) battery technology getting cheaper and scalable and that comes from Gov And Private research. Vote politicians in that will subsidize green technology makers so America can lead in battery technology, that’s how you’ll get your electric heaters
Respect to all the Line Crews out there trying their best.
Respect the line Crew for turning off the power intentionally ? For What ? For Capitulating to the Governor and ERCOT ? ERCOT INTENTIONALLY SHUT OFF THE TEXAS ENERGY GRID. Under a "STATE OF EMERGENCY ORDER" Signed by your REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT. If you think it's because Houston got 1in of Snow, you can't think for yourself.
@@johntore6108 the line crews didnt shut it off dumbass

@@johntore6108 I suggest revising you're comment as to 1. Try to calm yourself and 2. Do a bit of more research as to why all of this is happening. Like, maybe these employees cannot get to this specific power plant due to poor street conditions (not that roads we're ever perfect in the first place)
Trying to stay warm with the car running in the garage... I am without words
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.
That what I was thinking... Not enough repeat stories of CO2 death of the same thing doesn't steer people away from doing it
have you read the comments?
I had no idea people don't know this.
Prayers for all of you in Texas
This is terrible... I mean this is a normal winter up here in Canada (minus the tornadoes), but we're prepared for it up here! Our buildings are built to withstand the snow loads and frigid temperatures. We have an army of snow plows and sanders ready to go at a moments notice... I am praying for everyone affected. ❤

I never knew Texas experiences this type of cold weather.
We don't! I have lived in Texas 80 years and NEVER has there been anything even close to this. You don't take a state as big as Texas and experience the same weather conditions in every single county border to border UNLESS someone manipulated the weather and played with the grid. Hurricane Harvey was also manipulated. Deep State players are real and very dangerous.

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.
