It's starting to melt a bit now in central Texas.

Tomorrow I hope to discover if any pipes are busted.

I’m going to the farm this afternoon to determine how much damage I have there. I have 2 electric water heaters in areas where there is no heat. Both are in buildings, but when they freeze full of water, bad things happen. And to the lines going to them. There was some heat in the house, but the garage is the issue with one. Another building with no way to heat without electricity has the other water heater.

This should have been handled differently. The priorities were obviously the areas determined by “someone” to be critical or necessary. Bureaucrap.

Those not in those “essential” (Covid Lingo) were simply shut completely down.

Lived in COLD WORLD once and the first thing you did in this scenario was turn the water off, open all the lowest point faucets to drain pipes on outer walls, up in attic/roof spaces, that could freeze.

If you have good snow cover pipes are pretty safe. Snow makes a good insulator

It’s going to be fun the next few days of thawing.

I didn’t know you live in Texas. Hope your pipes are ok.
