GALVESTON, Texas (WPVI) The power may be back in the city of Galveston, Texas, but residents and visitors are recovering after more than 80 hours without power, five days with no running water and what felt like an eternity of below freezing temperatures.
Karen Flory and her husband thought they were escaping the cold by vacationing in Jamaica Beach.
They set up their RV right across the street from the water. When the snow accumulated and the power cut out, they were forced to sleep in their truck to stay warm. Never felt this desperate and scared and unsure of what to do in my life, said Karen Flory of Montgomery, Texas.
