Family of 11-year-old boy who died in unheated Texas mobile home sues power companies for over $100

17. I'm not going to jump on this family at this point.

I can’t imagine their pain and I will reserve judgment until we know how this boy actually died and what the circumstances around him were. There is so much we do not know.

I’ve been puzzling over this weather disaster in TX since it began. I ask myself why folks weren’t more prepared? I came to the conclusion that asking questions like that isn’t logical or supportive. I live in Montana and deep cold weather is what we live with for a good portion of the year....BUT what would I do if I had no natural gas flowing, no electricity and no water all at once? I would be in a mess too....AND, I know what to do in cold weather. Many or most people in TX don’t know what to do in times like this AND they had no leadership helping them prepare. I have shelved my judgement of the victims.

ETA: I haven’t reserved judgement for TX leadership who did nothing but profit from this disaster and blame others.
