The entire city of Abilene is without water. Whole swaths of areas of Houston and Burbs in Austin have no water. I got out and about yesterday just to see what I could see. Grocery stores operating under reduced hours and denuded stocks with lines of folks wrapped around the building like a Bulgarian Bread Line circa '72. The thin veneer of civilization has frozen and cracked like an uninsulated water main. More frozen storms headed in tonight and tomorrow.
Wow, that really, really sucks.
It's a big ol' Texas Sized Frozen Turdcicle.
This has really given me some experience to draw on to be prepared better in the future. I don't know how bad this will get. There's no indication it won't last another week, or weeks.
