Pretty much a massive disaster hit TX and OK. Not going to lie, it wasnt easy for a lot of folks. Our infrastructure and government response was not as ready as it should have been. Our power grid had vulnerabilities.
However, while fake news will make people believe that Texans were helpless.... this old Texan saw a totally different narrative. I saw people helping one another, I saw generators, fuel, firewood being deployed by residents - not government. I saw people opening homes and businesses as shelters, pets and all. I saw an army of four wheel drive vehicles pulling folks
I would agree, particularly outside of the urban centers. I left Dallas for rural NE Texas more than 20 years ago and have never looked back. I have family and children that live in the Dallas area now and it was much worse for them than for us. We never lost power or water and, in general, we are far better equiped to handle most disasters because of our extended community family and simpler lifestyle. But I agree that Texans are strong, determined, helpful, and conscientious, no matter where we live in this great state. God Bless Texas!
