In house after house in Texas, the deep freeze has burst water pipes, flooding homes that have no heat. https://twitter.com/MajorFactor2/status/1362230039677456384
You can watch the kind of damage that happens in real time on this one: https://twitter.com/MajorFactor2/status/1362230146477006849?s=20
Since reporting is indicating that some power companies shut off their generators simply because *the price of natural gas rocketed too high to make a profit,* I imagine insurance companies will sue, and there will be class action suits from homeowners.
So, long after the humanitarian crisis is over, I have to imagine there will be billions and billions of dollars in water damage that will be litigated.
Some of these buildings seem to be large enough that the management companies *should have known the risk* and should have shut the water off—ideally, before pipes froze and burst, but certainly after. https://twitter.com/MajorFactor2/status/1362230211803295745?s=20
I mean, this is not a small building—see the big support columns, and listen to that pro alarm. Does no one know where the water shutoff is? https://twitter.com/MajorFactor2/status/1362230237858299904?s=20
Great thread on the scope of the disaster, including causes. This Texan knew what to do and had resources; a whole lot of other Texans were not fortunate enough to do the same. https://twitter.com/ConorKenny/status/1362279034768543744?s=20
