A winter storm bringing dangerous levels of snow and ice has left thousands of homes without power and has caused more than 9,000 flights to be cancelled nationwide. NBC News’ Morgan Chesky has the details.

BURN YER GUNPOWDER TO STAY WARM yuk yuk
SING WITH ME
“What is Ted good for, Absolutely nothing”
What Abbot the MURDER is killing more of his constituents? 😱 A republican didn’t actually fix the problems, they’re joke of paying taxes and contributing to infrastructure😱😱 who would have guessed! 🤣
Everything’s big in Texas even the dummies
Oh..seems like your leaders would be in favor of the infrastructure..vote them out..
Your brain needs fracking
Get abbott out
I just hope everyone is bringing their pets inside!
*sips coffee in ice storm up north* poor souls, keep two windows minimum open when using generators inside. Although the general rule is to have the Genny outside and no windows open around it to avoid dying. Another thing is having candles in those lil candle cages and staying near it. It’s what ido when I smoke out on the patio in the winter.
Erm… Why would you ever run a generator inside? That seems like a *really* bad idea.
@Jarynn couple guys died due to it ..in north Carolina I think? South? I forget.
@Leviatiem I am kinda impressed by the strange ways southerners find to get themselves killed during snow storms (Grew up in northern Illinois myself)
@Jarynn I’m from New Mexico but live up in Mass now. I still get texts from my old school in Santa Fe when ever it snows. Snow is pretty there though.
Here in Texas… Amarillo…
It’s freezing cold and getting colder.
It’s worse this year than last year.
No power and very cold. Our kids are in bed with us. It’s so COLD.
We’ve had a year and the grid is still broken.
I hope we live.
My lights have been on
VOTE ABBOTT AND CRUZ OUT OF OFFICE😡
Global Cooling 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“The most reliable it’s ever been”.
Tells a lie with such a straight face. Crook.
We need some of that FREEZING IN GA…. SO we can have Fun too
CRUZIN TO CANCUN …CRUZ?
#cancuncruz … helloooo? where this time? #tijuanated ?
Texas is like that dumb cousin that doesn’t learn the first time 😂
Anyone who listens to NBC reporting and believes the hype of mass power storages and hysteria must be the child of someone who slept with their cousin.
Happy Anniversary Texas
You wonder why???

Hmmm ice and snow in Dallas Texas? Global Warming Bah Humbug!!! Has Gretta Thunbug heard about this???
Screw abbot
God protect thy people
See what happens……
Capitalism baby yeah 👍. Winning!!
Global warming. Buy solar and enrich political insiders trading. BLM! LGBTQ!!! Defund police!!! Ban guns!!! Do it!
With Climate change and the massive volcanic eruption MT Tango we can expect cooler than normal temperatures this year .
The Tonga eruption didn’t actually emit much cooling greenhouse gases. Scientists don’t expect it to have any noticeable impact on weather going forward.
Dear Texas, I’m starting to think you don’t understand how this winter thing works
These seems awfully familiar…
Where is Cancun Cruz ? LOL
ONDALE OLA YEEEHAA YYEEHAAA
☀️🌡🍹🍺🍻🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵💨💨💨
They won’t do anything. It will be the Democrats fault again. Or AOC’s fault. Certainly not Abbotts.
Maybe Abbot should go along with Ted Cruz the next time he flies to Cancun
Okay, that’s old news. How is the grid holding?
Abbott didn’t learn the first time
Go ahead beg the democrats for help again..the same ones you refuse to work with..yup…do it .
Texas Is Still Not Recognizing The Full Death Toll Of Last Year’s Devastating Winter Storm
The state now says that 246 people were killed in last February’s winter storm. An updated analysis by BuzzFeed News puts the number at more than 750.
B.S. No power outage in Eagle Pass/Piedras Negras or Laredo/Nuevo Laredo. NBC is full of $hit.
There were some power outages, but they said Texas faces it, not that it was happening.
Don’t worry guys free market will fix it …….when they don’t profit from it.
OMG 😱 it’s worse than last year by 100X. Where are the Marines and Army and the Coast Guard? We’re being left to die. I thought we were all in this together.
Don’t worry, it’s not climate change. There’s nothing to see here. Let’s check in with sports!
Texas fooled again by Republicans.
Wonder how those people dealt with their sky high electric bills they strangely got last year after freezing cold in the dark. Will it happen again?
Hay where is cancun cruz?……hiding in florida!!!!!
Everyone needs to go to the airports and watch Ted Cruz leave for Cancun again
I learned years ago….buy a emergency gas generator ….wire it to a braker installed on furnace. That way you loose power you flip braker on furnce and generator will power furnace so you at least have heat. A double through double pole.
A 300.00 investment can save lives and thousands in damages to your home
Dems can’t get anything done Reps won’t do anything. Shaping up not to pick lesser of 2…Well y’all know the rest
I got back from Austin yesterday for a week of work. I wasn’t able to finish my work because the city shut down from Wednesday to Friday. I lived in NY and CT and a storm like that would have been shoveled up within hours after it was done. It was like everyone threw up their hands and was like see you in a few days.
Our city is like 👍 that. Slow the first day, almost normal the second day.
This headline is why there’s so much distrust in the media.
So they did absolutely nothing to improve their idiocy? Not surprised. That is what you get when you elect people who care only for greed and serving their pockets
So is Ted Cruz in Cancun Mexico again?
This weather sint new to Texas, why not prepare. I wanted to move to Texas but I won’t.
They have lots of meat. But no backup electricity?
Where’s cancun Ted cruz???
the texas power grid is “most reliable and resilient it has ever been” means that it’s exactly the same as it always was. traditional, like most republicans, and it never changes, like most republicans……
Keep your eyes on Hot Dog Teddy! Make sure he don’t fly away to Cancun again
Wow dident see this coming
Again? They don’t fix anything after the last time?
Bet all the California transplants are regretting moving there now lol
Time to sue the Governor for negligence. Especially in case you loose a loved one – so sorry for what you have to go through.
Again? Didn’t they fix it??
Where is Cruz? Have his children bullied him into another well timed tropical vacation, or is he there for the Texans? Or is their care still up to O’Rourk and AOC?
How many people will be murdered by Republicans incompetence this time !
VOTE THEM OUT! Did nothing
to prepare for this, knew it could happen again! Then, had to read from a script, couldn’t even feel empathy for his constituents. VOTE, him and Cruz out!
Sounds like it’s time for another Cancun plane ride.
The disasters should be nothing new for Texas, because they are self-imposed suffering in the form of Senator Ted Cruz. While the Democrats are trying to alleviate the hardship in the winter storm for the Texans, nothing is happening on the part of the elected Republicans. Nothing has changed even after the last winter storm in Texas, but you can fight back by choosing BLUE in 2022. If nothing changes in Texas, large manufacturing facilities like Samsung and Lenovo will close and outsource their production to safe locations. No company can afford billions in losses every year just because a Republican administration shines through total incompetence and disinterest. This will cost tens of thousands of jobs and will ensure that the people of Texas have to live a life of hardship, suffering, misery and hunger. How fascist Governor Greg Abbott feels about his voters and his country has already been proven in 2021. His interest is based solely on himself and the Nazi D.J. Trump. Thanks to the fascist Greg Abbott, the people of Texas enjoy a bad reputation in the world. They are considered stupid, uneducated, primitive and are said to come from families that have multiplied for generations through inbreeding. There must be some truth to it, because people with common sense do not let themselves be commanded by a fascist Greg Abbott like obedient animals. Election restrictions, abortion ban and no help with the winter storm. What else needs to happen before the people of Texas finally wake up and realize that they are being sold for stupid and treated like slaves who have neither their own opinion nor any rights? In the last winter storm, help came from the Democrats, while Ted Cruz was in sunny, warmer climes and abandoned his voters. TEXAN… opt for a Texas without need in the 2022 election. Suffering and misery from a winter storm … opt for a successful and economically strong Texas with a good reputation in this world and with a secure power grid that does not fail even in a winter storm … CHOOSE 2022 BLUE
Ted Cruz has nothing to do with local politics. LOL!!! But keep posting liberal.
this post was made by the democrat gang
Drama drama drama. Give us the facts, without your horrific spin, and let us be on our way.
For the second year in a row, no lessons learned. Thats the American way
Where is TED CANCUN CRUZ?
how are all the lights on behind this reporter.
A bought off governor and senator to big business, just lile dems too,,stay safe warm, still digging out of snow from Wednesday, Chicago area…SAVANNA LOOKS GOOD😍
There are power outages in every state this storm passed through.
Opps!
246 ppl died in Texas snowstorm, 2021. Some as young as 1yo. I remember one 10yo dying in his own frozen bed. Abbott, what do you plan to change this yr?
I thought last year Governor Abbott guaranteed that there would not be any more power outages ❓ He accepted campaign gifts from the owner of the natural gas company which prophetess off of those Texans when they have no electricity Go Texas ‼️ Your number one once again ‼️ Ted Cruz must be in Cancun once again fulfilling his political duties ❓ Maybe he’s campaigning and Cancun now Mexico maybe he’s thinking of becoming a citizen of Mexico ❓
The only ones I need to be aware are the homeless. Everybody else needs to quit crying and worrying about nothing .
Remember when voting. Don’t forget!
Abbott doesn’t care about anyone but himself and money.
Meanwhile, in Michigan, this is a normal day for commute in February. After what happened last year you think they would much more prepared. They don’t care about the people of Texas.
Texas isn’t it time to get rid for Abbott
Beautiful day in Tx
Where is Ted C. South of the border, clean up your mess in Texas. Gov it wasn’t so good last year. I’m glad I live in Mich. Everything’s working just great 👍 👌 🙂
I feel better after what the governor said
Vote republican and you will see the consequences as this one. I have 0 sympathy for the people at Texas.
Poor Texans…Why don.t ya,ll move to Afghan, Iraq or Syria…Help build the suburbs that ya,ll destroyed…
gov abbot said they ready and nothing will happen. hes wrong again lol
I guess we all get to see what a shithole Texas becomes again this time.
Yea everybody believes what the wheelchair dictator says.
It gets cold in winter time, cry me a frozen river you Beeches!
Ware is Ted?,, uhh yeah probably in Cancun Mexico!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO MUCH FOR ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SOLUTIONS… IF YOU RELY…YOU WILL DIE!
Hmm why does this sound so familiar to me?
100’s killed?
So with thousands out of power again Governor Abbott says it’s more reliable than ever? So I guess he means only 100 people will die this time. Texas is barely first world at this point.
I wonder if Ted is enjoying his trip to Cancun …..
Wonder what Abbott will blame this reliable grids failure on this time??
Hope that donation was worth it Abbott.
Don’t mess with Texas
We got enough mess, y’all
The elites are in Bermuda
This is, typically, a hyperbolic misrepresentation of what happened. Jesus, you people are stupid for believing this
God is sooooo mad at Texas!!
Hat statement is total crap. Since last year if they spent 100.00$ on it then it would be true. So congrats Abbott. Nice job. 🤣🤣🤣
