"I'm just taking it day by day," said Elizabeth Pennington, who lives in the Heights.
Pennington is a recipient of the Meals on Wheels program, which delivered thousands of meals and emergency food boxes to seniors in the days before the storm.
The storm disrupted power and water along with shutting down many roads across Houston due to ice.
Inside Pennington's home, the temperature quickly dropped when she lost power.
"It got to where it was 40 degrees inside the house," she said.
Thankfully, she was able to stay with her brother and wait for her power to turn back on, but now, her concern is over how much she will be charged for her next utility bill.
