Record-breaking Storm Uri blankets 73% of America in snow, kills 23 and leaves 3.5m freezing Texans STILL without power: Governor scrambles for answers as he admits it could take DAYS for electricity to be restored in energy-rich Lone Star State
The record-breaking cold weather claimed more lives Tuesday, including four relatives who perished while using a fireplace to stay warm and a woman and a girl who died from suspected carbon monoxide poisoning
In Harris County, Texas officials reported more than 300 carbon monoxide poisoning cases
In Galveston, the medical examiner s office requested a refrigerated truck to expand body storage
The power breakdown sparked growing outrage and demands for answers over how Texas failed such a massive test of a major point of state pride: energy independence
A record 73.2% of the 48 contiguous states were covered in snow with an average depth of 6 inches Tuesday - the most coverage since data collection began back in 2003.
