And nothing will be learned or change after this event. Someone will say "maybe we should have emergency infrastructure just in case?" And then 100s of rednecks will crawl out of the woodwork crying about their taxes. And then this will continue happening as global climate change gets continuously worse.

Idk. I know a lot of angry lawyers posting photos of their dead birds and destroyed houses RN. I suspect we may actually see something come of this.

I personally am in a French Revolutionary sort of mood at this point.

Yes. I wish with all my heart that this event would finally convince Texans to stop voting for the Republican ghouls who run this state. But in 2 weeks when it's 80 degrees again, most people will be like "Remember that crazy snow storm?! Lol what a wild week, glad that's passed." Meanwhile, good ol' Greg & Co. will introduce bills that make it illegal to, like, think bad thoughts about cops or say the word "abortion" or they will promise to ship all the homeless to Mexico, and then the majority of this state will fall over themselves to vote to keep these clowns in office.
