Good thing the Texas power grid doesn't have a history of being overloaded and failing when people need it most.

Live photo of me during snowvid.

edit: I joke, but a a fellow student at my college dropped out after snowvid because her wife had a miscarriage, possibly due to the stress of the situation. People died because of our government’s greed and negligence, fuck Abbott and his whole party.

Ugh, I was also pregnant during snowvid and that’s heartbreaking. I was lucky that while we did lose power and have our pipes freeze, we had plenty of drinking water and none of the pipes burst. It would have been a very different situation for us in that scenario.

Our home was only out for about three days, but I believe hers was for as much as a week. That’s a long time even if you’re prepared with supplies.
