Brrrrrr, can someone turn up the heat? The last few weeks have brought record cold and devastation to the American south. The struggles with the Texas power grid were unprecedented, and it will take months for many families across the south to overcome the damage to their homes due to frozen pipes and other damage. For those states impacted, it’s easy to understand just how unprepared they were to handle that type of weather. They just don’t experience those types of cold spells, so they don’t have the equipment, knowledge, or infrastructure to prepare for those conditions. They just weren’t ready for the fight.
Sometimes you think you’re prepared, but you’re not. The frigid temps and ice storm blew through Louisiana as well. Shipping and receiving were not possible for a few days with FedEx being shut down in Memphis for days. It affected all of us. For me, I lost my electricity at 8am that Monday morning. |
