The huge winter storm that swept across the southern US has killed at least 21 in Texas, Louisiana, Kentucky, North Carolina and Missouri.
The news out of the Lone Star State has gone from bad to worse. Record-breaking winter temperatures have strained the energy grid leading to widespread outages across the state.
For all our Texas Nomads, we hope you are staying warm and healthy.. and powered.

In related news, Senator Ted Cruz has yet to comment on social media reports that the Senator from Texas has been seen boarding a flight to Cancun, Mexico. According to one local news affiliate:
Some Twitter sleuths claimed they matched a mask, glasses, a ring, tennis shoes and headphones to past social media posts. One photo appears to show Cruz’s wife - who has appeared on national television - at his side.
One sleuth cited clues from a photo that puts Cruz inside the Houston International Airport near the terminal for a United flight to Cancun at 4:10 p.m.
I am unconvinced, to be honest. Perhaps it is just a guy with an unfortunate resemblance to a scoundrel. What do you think? Here's the evidence.
Caught tonight! @TedCruz fleeing to CANCUN while his home state freezes with no running water or electricity

Re: the Ted Cruz/Cancun thing, this is the photo that unlocks the whole thing. He's in a United terminal. In the top left you can that it's 4:10 pm (or 4ish PM at least). To the left of that, you can see that he's near gate E11, with its destination being Ft. Lauderdale. (1/3) pic.twitter.com/hUuUqSNBze
