  1. So much could have been avoided had the authorities simply put on tv…simple tips….shut ur water off at the meter….open drain water out of ur pipes.flush the toilets this generation is clueless….back in the day these basic facts were taught to every one.

  2. i lived in texas i do understand. your government did not prep for this and all of you got comfortable. you better be careful and stop playing. they spend your tax dollars on the roads but cant help you with maintaining living. its a joke

  3. I was watching a lot of videos of how houses are built in TX and I can't understand how wrong everything is put together. Understandably you don't really need to insulate your pipes for a freeze that comes maybe once in a lifetime but heck, at least use some quality pipes and fittings, properly insulate walls, don't just build them out of cardboard (drywall for all of you folks). Where I live, we are used with -10, -15 degrees C and our houses are built out of bricks, pipes are buried below the freezing point of the ground, we have insulation in and outside of the walls.

  4. Has anyone actually given a thought as to Why all these regulations exist in the first place? …… ……. Oh. Yeah. THAT'S why we shouldn't stand by and watch our OWN government de-regulate existing building codes and safety codes, both State and Federal to save $$$ for ultra-rich corporations' profit margins.

  5. Where I'm from its snows and ices up every year through the winter for 8 months that's why we have pipes that are insulated in Buried two foot in the ground any water lines in the house or insulated we have four wheel drives food in the pantry and plenty stacked dry wood for our wood shed stove for 8 months of winter

  6. Keep your water running. Just keep running it randomly for no reason otherwise your pipes freezing becomes more likely. Running water can't freeze.

  7. Thank god for Ted Cruz who by going on vacation to Cancun saved Texas from SOCIALISM by not asking for help
