The state suffered from major power outages, which in turn led to a loss of heat, food, water and lack of access to resources. Unfortunately, crops and livestock were not spared.
Constant Ngouala lost 80 percent of his crop at his Plant It Forward site in Southwest Houston, per the Houston Chronicle s Emma Balter. In Needville, Jennifer Plihal and Peg Turrentine of Three Sisters Farm lost nearly 100 percent of their crop and a number of plants that had to be moved from a greenhouse after the power died.
