@Sugipine My sister and BIL had gone to Dallas for a conference from their home in PA and got stuck in their hotel for several days in that storm. Even though they were used to driving in wintry conditions, their rental car and the roads were not up to the challenge. BIL and I recalled that experience just a few days ago.
Apparently not much has been upgraded since then, and this time conditions are worse. I have lived through winter weeks without power and the experience was horrid. Yet I believe I had far easier times than many Texans are having.
Last night I listened to Anderson Cooper talk with Bill Gates about climate change. So much to think about and so scary I am not surprised we keep shoving the problems to the future, yet I fear that future isn’t as distant as we would like.
