The sound of water pouring out of the attic echoes throughout Lucretia Williams' home in Waco, Texas. The frozen pipes burst and forced the ceiling to cave in. "I was shocked and I'm angry. I'm very angry," Williams said. Video recorded by her friend Tanya Anderson shows the water dripping steadily six hours after it first started, infiltrating her home Monday.
