(CNN) — As winter storms and freezing temperatures continue to wreak havoc across Texas, many are having to fight for survival.
Hundreds of thousands in the state remained without power on Thursday, trying their best to stay warm and dry as bursted pipes flood homes. Millions who got their lights back on were also dealing with water and other issues.
Here are just some of the struggles some Texans said they are facing during this winter crisis.
Many have no heat
Timothy Wilsey, his wife, Nicole, and their 7-year-old son have been without power for 72 hours.
The family, who reside in Euless, said they use their cars for warmth and to charge battery packs and phones, which Wilsey described as “their only lines of communication.”
