[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Meanwhile eastern NC had an EF# tornado yesterday and three people were killed, 50 homes were damaged or destroyed, and it did not make the news until I saw pictures on a photographer's FB page.  They are sitting in the cold and dark in TX while in NC they are cold, it is dark, but they have no homes.

Tornados are awful and terrible.  But, they are not unusual.  Does every automobile fatality make the news?  
I grew up in an area that suffers from tornados.  My childhood home was damaged by one (no family at home at the time).  They are not rare.  The Texas snowstorm is extremely rare--and far more people are dying there because of road conditions and carbon monoxide poisoning in order to stay warm.

The area I come from rarely had snow or ice, but when we did it paralyzed the city.  Ice is worse.  Power was out for days on more than one occasion (better now, I understand.)  No heat or electricity for days can be dangerous when the temps.  
This Texas storm is affecting millions, and millions of people.  And, sadly, there will be people without homes from fires, fallen trees, etc.  And, there have already been deaths.  [/quote]
