I live in Texas.
We have had some very uncommon weather over the last two weeks. We are currently experiencing record low temperatures, record high snowfall, and the highest demanding for electricity in years.
My school district has cancelled school for today and tomorrow, so far. The school district in which I live has closed school for the rest of the week.
Thousands of people have lost power. Some have experienced intermittent restoration of power, but many are going on 36+ hours without electricity, heat and/or gas.
Concerned individuals have been reaching out via various platforms to make sure my family and I are okay.
Each time I respond, I feel guilty, because (thankfully) we never lost power. I know I have no reason to feel guilty. But, I do.
I hope and pray people don't have to endure these hardships too much longer.
