My brother's family in Houston has been without power and water since Sunday morning. Where the hell is FEMA with water for these poor people.

Dude - it was 7* in SE Texas Tuesday morning. Due to power outages, many people saw freezing temps inside their homes.

The coldness has already claimed over 20 people.

I've lived in Texas all my life, and this is the first time I've ever seen a snow/cold event keep the same snowfall intact on the ground for over 4 days. Today was the first day the temperature ventured up over 30* - but this was short lived. It's now back under 30, with more snow on the way.

It was -2* in Dallas that morning - temps not seen in 81 years.

NOTE: it does not need to be below freezing for hypothermia to set in.
