TAUYYAB: Understanding the responsibilities of elected officials
Last Month, temperatures in Texas plunged well below freezing leading to a plethora of problems. The storm resulted in power outages and burst pipes across the state which was made worse with Texas' unique situation of having a power grid separated from the rest of the country. This meant that millions were left without electricity for days and clean drinking water for weeks. Although the total extent of the damage is still being investigated, officials say the storm resulted in at least 110 Texans losing their life.
