Our pool equipment is frozen solid, that is going to be ugly. We have some external spigots that are frozen too.
The first night if blackouts, it woke us when the power went off at 4 am. We got power back at 10 am, for 20 minutes, then off until 6:30 pm.
2nd day, pretty much 1 hour on, 5 hours off.
3rd day through now, power has been solid.
Good question on the basements. The answer i have gotten is that the soil is too sandy to support the added weight.
I will say, I have never heard of so many foundation issues as I have here.
Dont need a basement. Just a crawlspace with insulation on the piping. Or attic piping with insulation and a freeze heater/heattape.
Texas contractors just skimp on this stuff because this is a once a century event. Its probably not even in the code there.
Do ya'll (my Director is from TX), have tornado shelters? Seems TX and OK and anywhere along the South get more tornados than KS and MO or the upper mid-west. If you don't have basements, where do ya'll put your mancaves?

My landlord randomly showed up a couple winters back with a trailer full of snowmobiles.
Double parks them in the spaces next to the garage, so we loose parking spaces and have to park in the street when renters show up with like 8 SUVs among yall’s party of 7.
But my point is, in 3 winters since getting them, I’m not sure the trailer has moved 3 times, so be aware of that too.
Lol, the landlord just texted me asking to take pics of his snowmobiles for him. Dude’s tryna sell them...

For real though I didn’t know Bill Gates is trying to dim the sun.
Didn’t Mr. Burns already do that on the Simpsons?

Currently 40 degrees with plentiful sunshine. Compared to last week, it feels almost tropical.
Practically shorts and t-shirt weather.
Sure would be nice to live somewhere that I felt 40 degrees was brutally cold - instead of "warm".
One advantage to not being a house owner in the suburbs is that I don't have to worry about how all the melting snow is going to fuck things up.
Good luck mjl!
