A former resident of southern Manitoba admits being unprepared for the weather that struck Texas this last week.
The Lone Star State has been rocked by winter storms, dropping nearly 25 centimetres of snow in some parts and leaving millions without power. The storm has killed dozens of people, including six individuals who lost their lives in a 130 vehicle pileup along Interstate 35-W north of downtown Fort Worth last week Thursday.
James Mauldin moved from southern Manitoba to Texas back in 2006. Today he lives in Grandbury, just southwest of Dallas-Fort Worth. Though he endured many Manitoba winters while growing up, Mauldin says this change in weather caught him off guard.
