HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) Some families could be going into their third night without power in freezing temperatures. But it s important to be careful about what steps you re taking to heat your house.
Jesus Garcia has made a lot of trips to the gas pump to run his family s generator. We ve been pumping gas since yesterday, said Garcia.
The generator is powering his father s oxygen machine. We have to have a generator. There s no choice. We bought a brand new generator just for this reason for emergency purposes, said Garcia.
But Garcia isn t alone. People in search of generators and propane tanks lined up outside of home improvement stores as they are desperate to find warmth.
