In the US state of Texas, due to abnormal frosts, residential buildings are destroyed. The corresponding video was published by local residents on social networks.

In Texas, for the first time in 30 years, the air temperature dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius.
The authorities decided to turn off the electricity so as not to overload the local power system. 4.5 million households were left without electricity and heat.
The power outage led to water outages. Texas residents are advised to boil tap water, as it can be dangerous. Problems with water supply affected at least 260 thousand people.
