In the past couple of days, United States has witnessed a massive winter storm. By Tuesday, 73% of the country was coated in snow, according to the weather channel. Texas was the most impacted by brutally cold conditions. Not only they had to endure the sudden weather shift but also had to experience power outages.
As of Wednesday afternoon, nearly 3 million people in Texas are still without power, according to PowerOutage.us. And some of the pictures just show how bad things are in the state.
Take a look –

As a Texan, yes, I'm certainly not built for this. I don't even care. pic.twitter.com/FMt8imglJp

They're spraying down the car wash near us and it's forming HUGE icicles in the #TexasFreeze. @GhostHause took this pic to show us and 6yo asked if he could get him one. pic.twitter.com/QvV8p0ZIRy

Pro tip compliments of my neighbors: if your water is shut off or pipes are frozen, fill your bath tub with snow and use the water for your toilets š½
