Texas State Representative James Talarico (D-Roundrock) took to social media to deliver a shocking update. According to him, people burned their furniture to stay warm. Some of them even melted snow for water.
Texas is experiencing a humanitarian crisis.
People are burning furniture to heat their homes, melting snow to flush their toilets, risking carbon monoxide poisoning to protect their children.
