A texan. You know when they get snow an apocalypse occurs. Water main bursting is bad. Hope you get everything sorted out.

I've been in Texas for 14 years now. I've seen snow 3 times in those 14 years. All other times, it melted within an hour or two. This snow stayed for 4 days. That just doesn't happen in south-east Texas.

Literally 100k+ peoples houses water mains burst in houston. They're all built with basically exposed pvc pipe going in to the house for the mains, because it literally never gets this cold for this long, so they all burst the same way. No plumbers for weeks probably. At least there is bottled water available now though, there wasn't even that a couple days ago, and grocery stores were closing at 3pm because they sold everything they had... it was pretty wild for a bit there

It was a very curious bunch of snow storms, I'll say that. Why are the mains above ground? I thought it was more common for them to be under ground below the front line. I mean I know Texas is hot but they do have a few ski mountains the farther west you go.

Glad you're okay.The homeless population probably had a rough time too.

They are, but then there's a short bit exposed before it goes in to the side of the house at 4'

Yeah it was a very tough situation and despite the hardships I know a lot of people had a worse time of it.
