最近寒流侵袭德州，大家应该都有所耳闻。本来是气候温暖的南方州，竟然遇到暴风雪袭击，气温突降至历史最低点，电力和供暖统统跟不上，断水断电，甚至有人在这场天灾中死亡。
昨天晚上网上传来消息，在当地几十万人受冻的情况下，德州参议员 Ted Cruz 携家带子飞去了阳光明媚、气候宜人的墨西哥坎昆。。。

好呗，人家有权有势有钱，我们普通人真是没话说🙃
那么这段时间，到底是什么样的环境让参议员飞去了坎昆呢？普通人过的都是啥日子呢？一起来看看网友们怎么说。
1. 因为水管爆裂，家里天花板塌了，厨房毁了，医院等公共设施也被毁坏
“这现在真是太荒唐了！我们已经4天没有完整供电了。昨天我们起床的时候，发现厨房变成了这样。我舍友的房间也被爆裂的水管冲坏了。我们的家不是给这种天气建造的啊！”
It’s seriously so ridiculous here rn. We haven’t had power for a full day in like 4 days now. And yesterday we woke up to this in our kitchen. My roommates room also got flooded from a busted pipe as well. Our infrastructure was not built for this shit 😭 pic.twitter.com/rtvchyxfW5

“真感谢我的侄子让我有地方可去。我已经在一个没有电的房间呆了两天，早上起来发现自己的家被冲毁了”
@HannaBattahFox4 I am so thankful my nephew took me in after staying 2 days in apartment without power only to be waken by early call apartment flooding from pipe burst so rushed home. Now homeless while insurance try to find me lodging. pic.twitter.com/22tJD8IfMX

“一个公寓水管爆裂，水冲下楼梯，冲出了大门” （好像泰坦尼克号进水的镜头）

2. 百岁老人和孕妇正在艰难活下去
“我外婆，100岁了，一生都是共和党的支持者（除了2016年），还是二战老兵的妻子，现在在自己家里受冻。”

“在起居室里搭帐篷，保留我们来之不易的温暖，这对怀孕37周的孕妇来说，是非常艰难的时刻”

3. 没有供水，所以保存雪来用，或者拎着桶排队取水
“我们真的在保存雪，因为断水了，我们城市的大部分地区都没有水”

“24小时没水，电断断续续的，我们还是幸运的呢”
“这不是什么第三世界国家，这里是休斯顿。我看到一堆人在排队从水龙头里打水”
This is not a third world country. This is Houston, Texas. I spotted a line of people filing up buckets of water from a spicket at Haden Park. Why? Millions either have no water or are under a Boil Water Advisory. pic.twitter.com/VHYH5Hbqjj

4. 烧家具和儿童玩具取暖
“我在德州的侄子一家，正在烧孩子的玩具和家具取暖，他们已经两天没有电了，幸好昨天下午他们找到了一个酒店房间”

“我把我的衣柜拆了用来烧，我本来是要给它涂漆的，我的拖延症竟然也有好处，帮我们度过这段黑暗时光”

5. 超市里的冷冻食品坏了，只好扔掉
6. 家里的窗户上全是冰
“40个小时没有电，冰箱里的东西全部坏掉。我们把一些食品放在了外面冷冻。我们仅有的蜡烛也快用完了。这是我们卧室窗户的样子”
Now on 40 hours without electricity. Everything in our fridge is ruined. We put some food outside to stay frozen. Our only candle for light is almost out.

Texas ain't doing so hot right now especially us about an hour out from Dallas.

7. 交通受阻，高速路上全是冰
“这是一条主要的高速要道，雪停了，但是没人清理，地面全是冰”
最后，希望议员在坎昆玩的开心！
