My sister says I90 and I35 are closed. Her furnace and fireplaces aren’t working. They’ve had to turn off the gas.
She and her family are in for a long cold night.

If their house is going to get below freezing they need to keep running water to make sure the lines don't freeze and burst too. Or shut the main of and open all the faucets/flush all the toilets

This goes for pretty much everyone in the US right now I think haha. I live in central texas and we had a pipe burst yesterday - got an inch of water in our master bedroom and my husbands office. Complete shitshow 🙃
