On February 14, Texans woke up to snow and ice covering their cities. As one of the hottest states in the United States, they were not prepared for what this kind of weather brings. Not only have there been hundreds of car accidents state-wide, but there has been shortages of power, shortages of food in stores, and lack of water. Pipes are bursting in peoples homes, places of work, and schools. Due to power outages in water facilities and pipes bursting, "Haslet and north Fort Worth are under a boil order" due to the bacteria found in water. Not only were Texans taken by surprise because of this storm, but their materials and shelters were not prepared as well. https://www.wfaa.com/article/weather/winter-weather-north-texas-impacts-dallas-fort-worth-tuesday-february-16-2021-power-outages-school-closures-forecast/287-1832f35f-7685-4ec3-80c6-5d01b38374d7
