The same winter storm that blew more than 8 inches of snow into Indianapolis on Monday hit Texas and hit it hard.
The southern state reached record-breaking cold temperatures and residents cranking up the heat overwhelmed power generators. Millions of households lost electricity, and many have now been without power and heat for days. Predictions on when it will be restored are uncertain.
As the chill settled in, Texans unaccustomed to cold, snow and ice scrambled to keep themselves warm. Families huddled around fireplaces, burning pieces of old fence or furniture. People waited in lines for as long as five hours for groceries. More than 30 people nationwide have died from the winter storm.

West Kootenay Roller Derby (WKRD) rolls into the Trail Arena this Saturday for a couple of match ups that will make your head spin.
The action starts at 5 p.m. when the home team, the Rossland Trail Roller Girls (RTRG), take on Castlegar’s Dam City Rollers. The Dams are coming in hot after defeating their competition last season. But the Nelson Killjoys reminded them last month that it’s anyone’s game when they outplayed Castlegar in the first double-header of Season 6.
“It s a new purple team this year,” says Dams’ skater and founding team member Kristina Kruchkowski (aka Kitty Karnage). “We still have lots of familiar faces on the bench but have gained some new sisters this season, both of the fresh variety and from the (dissolved) Valley Brutality.”
