Some seriously low temperatures crippling Texas.

Power has been interrupted and therefore water purification plants have stopped working.

The inhabitants have discovered that frozen pipes will leak when defrosted.

But it's ok because Texas Senator Ted Cruz ( republican) went on holiday to Mexico!
