In most of Texas there are no snow plows. Roads were undrivable. No one has tire chains unless they moved from the north and are pack rats. If you were lucky enough to get to a shelter you would be foolish to travel home in those conditions.
I don't get the food rotting issue at people's homes..we have a 15 year old fridge. Second day without power the food in the fridge side was still 40 degrees. We moved some milks and slightly more perishable things to the garage where it was about 17 degrees just in case
The freezer side was ice cold, meats were all hard as rocks and the temp read as 27 well under freezing.
Did that with my precious meats but only had one cooler so the two freezers worth of other stuff was lost. I made the mistake of going on a huge shopping spree 2 days before the storm.
Everyone who suffered because of this should get together for a class-action lawsuit against everyone responsible.
I can't wait til the lawsuits start. I had to live in a homeless shelter with my family for a week while my fully stocked food rotted away.
Just curious, why didn't you put the food outside since it was so cold?

Everyone knew the storm was coming, most people were home.
Who needs a shelter, prep
It was cold. Why not put it in a cooler outside?
Glad to see multiple people asking.

Food safety standards require the freezer temperature to he zero or below.

They should hang these fucks, getting real tired of them not having consequences
