Millones de personas en Texas aun están sin electricidad, y a la buena de dios, sin calefacción, ante el paso inclemente de una tormenta invernal que durará hasta el fin de semana.
Ante la falta de energía, en ciudades como Houston o Dallas muchos residentes hacían filas enormes y esperaban por más de una hora al aire libre para abartecerse con leña o para llenar sus tanques con gas propano y así aguantar las inclemencias del clima.
El Servicio Meteorológico Nacional infomó que más de 150 millones de estadounidenses estaban ahora bajo advertencias de tormentas invernales.
Más del 73% de EE.UU. estaba cubierto por nieve.
