Whoa! Texas just can't catch a break! 🌪️
On Tuesday, ferocious storms with damaging winds and hail the size of baseballs slammed into Texas, leaving a trail of destruction. One person sadly lost their life, and around a million homes and businesses are in the dark without power. ⚡️
This comes as the U.S. is already reeling from severe weather over the Memorial Day weekend, where tornadoes claimed at least 24 lives. 😔
Texas, already weary from storms, is facing widespread outages across the state. To make things worse, an early-season heat wave is turning up the heat, literally! 🔥
And get this—voters heading to the polls for the state's runoff elections found dozens of polling places powerless. In Dallas County, officials extended polling hours by two hours to give everyone a chance to vote despite the chaos. 🗳️
As Texans begin the massive cleanup, our thoughts are with everyone affected. Stay safe out there! ❤️
