I see how Texas got fucked up. Places like Ohio are built to deal with snowstorms and extreme cold and shit still gets fucked up and slows down. Plow trucks literally run all night up here. Power outages happen with our snowstorms too, so I can just imagine places not ready.

But when shit goes out up here, no one gives a fuck. Just normal winter shit. :smh:

Texas can handle heatwaves, droughts, wildfires, floods, hurricanes and tornadoes, but not extreme cold and snow/ice.

It just goes to show how multidimensional weather can be and how people react to it.

Is this in San Antonio? The sprinklers fucked up my neighbor's shit 2 apartments away. Also I know mofos ain't talking shit about quality construction? Niggas living in a closet with a roommate has zero room to criticize anything going on in Texas.
Man you should read the comments on that Twitter thread... :smh:

The dude that originally posted it, that's his sister's place that's messed up like that. People are literally going in on her furniture and all kinds of irrelevant bullshit about building code, climate change, etc.

You've obliviously never been to Houston which is notorious for having some of the most oppressive humidity and heat in the United States. From mid April to Mid October the humidity is very thick so your argument makes no since at all.
I'm from NY & can co-sign this. Anywhere in the Gulf region has some humidity that makes me beyond irritable. It's terrible. NY summer humidity will have my pants clinging to my legs to the point where they look like leggings but Gulf humidity will have my forehead dripping and my back drenched the minute I open a door or window to outside while still standing in a room with A/C :smh:

For my NC folks @cli-terminator @Dota @YoungSinister @CurtDawg @doe moe

Get ready for the ice.

The heaviest will be in the Piedmont area, especially the northern parts. This is a freezing rain event.
Not looking forward to it at all. I have no plans of leaving the house tomorrow but want to go to Fuquay on Friday morning for the release of the new Walther PDP pistol. Fuquay Gun & Gold is the only store listed for NC, on their website, that will be participating in their nationwide release. I have water, food & charcoal so I'm good on that front and more than enough layers to wear if I lose power so I can stay warm. I'll go gas up the car later on today.

‘The Weak Will Parish’: Texas Mayor Berates ‘Lazy’ Residents Amid Record Cold, Blackouts
Colorado City Mayor Tim Boyd has reportedly resigned, though it’s not clear if that was before he told residents, “No one owes you [and] your family anything.”



A western Texas mayor has reportedly told residents seeking help amid record-low temperatures and rolling blackouts to quit being “lazy” and that “only the strong will survive and the weak will parish [sic].”

Tim Boyd announced his resignation Tuesday after anger over his since-deleted Facebook post boiled over among residents of Colorado City, where temperatures have dipped into the teens. It was unclear whether he resigned before or after berating his constituents.

“No one owes you [and] your family anything; nor is it the local government’s responsibility to support you during trying times like this! Sink or swim it’s your choice!” he said in his post, according to local stations KTXS and KTAB/KRBC.

Boyd made another post hours later, stating that he had resigned and wanted to apologize for his language, though apparently not his message, which he said had been taken out of context.



“I won’t deny for one minute what I said in my post this morning,” he said. Boyd instead said he was sorry for “the wording and some of the phrases that were used” and that his crude dismissal did not apply to the elderly or to those “in true need of help.”


“I was only making the statement that those folks that are too lazy to get up and fend for themselves but are capable should not be dealt a handout,” he said.

He also suggested that he had resigned before posting his social media screed.
“I was speaking as a citizen as I am NOT THE MAYOR anymore,” he said.

Attempts to reach Boyd and the city for comment were not immediately successful Wednesday.

Boyd’s comments came as millions across the state continued to endure freezing temperatures that have killed at least 21 people as the state’s power grid struggles to supply adequate electricity, forcing some areas to go without power for hours or even more than a day.

As of Wednesday morning, roughly 2.4 million people remained without power across the state, according to online outage tracker poweroutage.us. Electricity companies have said it’s not yet known when full power may be restored.

Local authorities have meanwhile urged residents not to use fuel-burning heat sources that create carbon monoxide indoors. These devices, including grills, stoves, gas generators and car engines, have been blamed for at least two deaths and several hospitalizations this week. In one such case, a Houston family of four is believed to have been poisoned after leaving a car running in their home’s attached garage to create heat, killing two of them.

Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that can build up indoors and poison people and animals who breathe it in. Breathing in a lot of the gas can cause a person to pass out or die. Those who are sleeping or drunk may not realize they are being poisoned before it’s too late, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
