At least two hospitals in Austin, Texas were left without water and heat on Tuesday night — forcing patients and staff to transport human waste in trash bags and refrain from showering or even washing their hands.

they are busy sleuthing if it was Cruz going to Cancun. Even checking to see if rings match.
Turn those windmills back on!!!!
Yeah, nothing is Biden’s fault, is it?
And... again... where’s Biden and FEMA?!
Remember when the media declared holy jihad on W for Katrina?
Notice the deafening silence now?
WHERE are the rescue folks?
Trump would have already had this organized.....he would have had National Guard, etc
I haven’t heard a word about help from Samaritan’s Purse....Salvation Army or Red Cross?????
??????
I think this just falls under”Keep Austin Weird”
I’m sure all the hipsters in Austin can handle it, they’re so much smarter than the rest of us after all.
“forcing patients and staff to transport human waste in trash bags and refrain from showering or even washing their hands.”
In a hospital. The dichotomy and irony are top shelf.
Why can’t they just put 50LB Blocks of Dry Ice in these places, as the CO2 Disperses won’t it Heat up the Entire Hospital due to the Greenhouse Effect CO2 Magically Creates??
White House talks with governors about winter storm impacts
...and has sat on his hands during this whole fiasco.
President Biden approves Texas emergency declaration amid winter storm
I have family in Austin....
....they had to flee to a church member’s house in another part of Austin...with their baby
Folks in Austin quite a distance from them ( more relatives) JUST lost their power too!!
Finally!
Couldn’t find in the story why exactly the water was shut off.
The phone calls were made on Monday and Tuesday. The disaster declaration was issued on Sunday.
Why,they’re totally innocent and pure as the wind driven snow. SPIT!
FEMA would just send trucks loaded with ice.
The Guard is to busy protecting the commies in Washington from U.S.!
WTH is going on in Texas?
Texas looks like a 3rd world country.
Heads need to roll.
Doesn’t anyone plan for emergencies anymore?
I like others wonder about the water. My little town in California has two water tower. Sure it takes electricity to pump the water up into the tower but the water distribution is by gravity. I don’t think cold weather affects gravity (but then cold weather does cause people to fall a lot).
