Freeze or skate?
But do any Texans have ice skates? 
Flint, Texas. I am just waiting for a major bridge to collapse. Gotta happen with the lack of spending on infrastructure
There will be a New Madrid earthquake at some point and a bunch of those old metal bridges over the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers will probably come down.

Damn. Looks like a pipe burst having frozen up due to a lack of heating (perhaps due to the power outage, though the lights are on).
I thought it was a mocked up pisstake. No?
Can never tell what’s real and what’s a photoshopped meme/joke these days.
Apparently a Trump tower is being demolished in Atlantic City.
If your interested in watching another Trump disaster…
This will quite possibly be the best thing I’ve seen on a screen in 6 Months.
How long til kick off?
Not sure.
Could be overnight.
It’s the black building to the right of centre that’s being demolished (I think)

Nothing in Texas (well Houston) is winterised. Minor cold snaps caused pipes to freeze and burst. And most people would have heating reliant on electricity (reverse cycle AC or gas with electric ignition). This does not surprise me.

Between 8am and 10am.
So in 2 to 4 hours time.
Houston is weird in many ways, but in term sof weather it is brutal. I was there in a February and it had temp on a couples of days not above 3C and then the next day it was 28C. Totally reliant on electricity which is privately owned and unreliable, but it is cheap !!
Houston weather:
Summer unbearable (40 deg and 95%+ humidity)
Winter cold and damp (usually below 7-8 degrees and still really humid, so damp, except when the continental air blows over and freezes,which causes everything to ice because of the humidity (especially the elevated freeways).
Autumn and Spring can be bearable but are brief - only a few weeks. When I lived there, one year I traveled for 3 weeks over October and completely missed Fall - summer weather when I left, winter when I returned.

Can you imagine anyone accepting this explanation from a communist/socialist country?
Ehhh…it’s unreliable and we freeze sometimes but it’s cheap!
