TEXAS WINTER STORM 2021| HOUSTON WE HAVE SNOW! | POWER OUTAGES | FAMILY VLOG 

Here's a tip. Cook all your raw meat and rice and pasta or other stuff. That way if you don't get power you still have food that can be warmed up quickly on the grill or eaten cold.

I come from zimbabwe 🇿🇼. Over the past 20 years almost, this has been our life! No regular power, no regular water, lines everywhere....When I was a kid, we definitely took for granted having normally working facilities...but from my teen years up, the term “over it” turned into “🤷🏾‍♂️ “. There are still rolling power outages everyday but “the bucket challenge” is now how I bath myself and the family. When the complaining stops, then the human spirit to “make a plan” kicks in. I couldn’t imagine being from the north though and dealing with subzero and all the other issues. No wonder the north progressed so fast technologically coz we in the south never had to deal with subzero weather like this. Anyways...I’m rambling because watching this video reminded me of the same journey I went through as a kid from 1. Disbelief of the situation, 2. Waiting for the gov to step in, 3. Realizing we were on our own, 4. Adjusting through frustration, 5. Adjusting through some experience, 6. Planning for the inevitable, 7. Keep keeping on! I enjoyed this vlog

Close the doors to the exterior facing rooms. Everyone stay in one interior room to conserve body heat.

My husband and I lost power at 5:30 Monday morning and it stayed off till Friday evening when it was finally restored at 6:00 that night. I feel your pain. It was really rough. But we were blessed that we never lost our water and did not have any pipe breaking. Some of our family and neighbors were not so lucky. Glad the winter storm has left. Praying for all the people still having to deal with all of this. God bless you and your family and everyone watching the video. Thanks for sharing. ♥️

You are a trooper to vlog this in this devastation! May God bless you all and find a safe and warm place to stay.

Absolutely love Texans (and Floridians 😉). You guys are so warm and generous. Your channel is beautifully charming to watch. Hugs from the UK 🇬🇧 🤗 ❤ Going forward get yourself a gas camping stove and a camping heater so you can safely cook indoors and heat a room. Chancers are this may happen more often because of climate changes. We get big storms where I am in the UK and they're just damn handy to have for power outages. Hope that helps my lovely 😍

Praying for all you folks in Texas Sending Love & Prayers from the UK 🙏🏼🙏🏼🇬🇧

Omg girl I had a feeling you lived in Texas! I reside in Houston! Girl watching this I’m like I’m so glad we survived!!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Hi had y'all hear about the man that open his furniture store free,he was on TV Saturday.

You and your man should invest in a small solar powered generator (backup battery) so you and the kids can stay warm if this were to ever happen again. Some are also able to Power most coffee makers so you’ll be able to have your fresh coffee. Best of wishes.

Your hair at the end...love it. Your daughter omg lol. Poor mommy.

Owh taylor😁....a very smart and creative girl,she can entertain her self by drawing all over her face in that situation,cute😅.I feel soo sad watching her sobbing so bad...you owe her a lots of candy mam.🥺

The sad part about it is the snow storms are not causing the power to be shut off there cutting of the power off in some parts of Texas if not all to save there power grid there also doing the same in Oklahoma there on timed power outages there which I thank is wrong because it's elderly people who are dieing and without heat running water or food I'm praying for every resident in Texas that some emergency assistance will be issued very soon 🙏🙏💪

You handled this so well. Thank you for posting this. Great video!

Good job surviving! I’m proud of you, I had to subscribe. Thanks for sharing.

I'm watching this with my fan on and once I saw the snow, I got cold 🥶

Your baby made me laugh. Thanks for the laugh little girl it’s OK you still look cute

Omg she's beautiful ! She looks like my daughter when she was little . She would cry just like that awww

Hey guys you need an clay pot stove, make a tent in your home small spaces are better to keep warm take a big clay pot turn it around put candles under make sure air flow is there but be aware of open candle / fire Stay safe

I feel for ya, girl. My boyfriend and I grew up in Miami and only moved out to Austin 3 years ago. Never experienced cold like this before, and our power went out from Valentine's night until late Thursday night, straight through. I've never even vlogged before, so I'm only just starting now by putting together my videos from the winter storm experience, and been looking at others vlog's for tips on how to vlog this stuff, lol. On a side note, your hair is gorgeous 🔥. If I ever manage to finish putting my winter storm vlog together, I'll upload it to my boyfriend's YT channel ([Daniel Negreiros/Busker Dan] he's got the advantage of a YTRed account).

Be safe. Praying for everyone in Texas, that the Lord will blanket the whole state with warmth again.

This is a little late for what happen but for the next time---build a box.gov--- cardboard in the windows. Can heat, with rack. I feel for you, but you did really well! Oh gosh Taylor, see why you freaked, i did. So cute!

The take away I always get from moments like this ..especially as someone who grew up with this happening to us probably once a year or every other year to this degree is it just brings families closer together .. I promise the little ones when they hit their 20's and 30's WILL get the nostalgia and remember with fondness the time they all got through the Texas Storm together, you know? Great vlog.

No shame, my dear Florida girl. What you are dealing with would be cold and miserable no matter where you’re from!

I live in NW Houston and we went a total of 61 HOURS without power and when I tell you that was the WORST COLD I've ever experienced...Wearing 5 layers of clothes, double gloves, quadruple socks, none of that mattered because we couldn't get warm. Going to bed at night with no power and trying to go to sleep in the cold and waking up in the cold was horrible. My sheets and pillows felt like ice. The crackers we ate were as cold as ice. The doorknobs, countertops and sink faucets were ICE COLD. At one point, I knew I was suffering from hypothermia because I was extremely sleepy and disoriented. Not to mention not having any cell service WHATSOEVER to even know what the heck was going on was WORST THAN HURRICANE HARVEY.

Loved hearing your story! I live in Cedar Hill, Texas and yes the thought of losing power was crazy. Had the pipes on drip. Thankfully never lost power or water. Talk about blessed. I live in an apartment between a police station and a Walmart. Uncle lost power for 3 days. Mom lost power. Sisters lost power then her pipes burst. You all take care. It’s Texas , hang in there as we tend to thaw pretty quickly.

BRITTNEY, DON'T GIVE UP, IMPROVISE

Pray for the people in texas that lost power cant imagine how the homeless people Are 😢

Aww lol the baby so cute,sending you blessings hun♥️

I'm proud that you had lots of food on hand and was able to navigate this disaster. A lot of people eat out all the time. Probably the ones at whataburger! Just in case this ever happens again, It may help to have a solar generator backup (Jackery or Bluetti), a Mr. Buddy Heater, 30 degree sleeping bags, and a couple of tents you can set up in the rooms to help keep body heat in. And you can hang some plastic sheeting over the windows which might keep cold air out a little more. Hopefully it won't happen again, but with things changing so much, who knows! God Bless.

I can officially say I went outside in 14 degree weather!! #Over this TX weather

You are hanging in there and I’m proud of you I know it can be stressful with that many kids and no power

Here's a recipe tuna, mayo, corn, cooked top ramen, cooked green chili, celery and lemon, and eat it with nachos like bean dip you'll love it, it's delicious

Those Texas snow storms are crazy. Stay safe everybody!

There's a reason why Preppers exist.

Just inquisitive where did you get the coats from ? Were you fortunate to have winter attire already? I heard a lot of folk in those sunny states didn't have winter clothes and wasn't prepared for such a thing.. I pray that you& ur family and many more families made it out alright..

Take care stay safe Brit and your family... Love your hair Im from United Kingdom...

Maybe a vacation in Cancun with your son or daughter can solved everything.

Awe. keep the kids warm❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great vlog! Glad you all are ok!

Oh I’m happy to see the weather is finally getting better and the snow is starting to melt and the sun is out

First time to your channel! I think you will probably become a life long emergency preparedness family!!!1 Have you heard of a 150watt or a 1000 wattJ ackery solar generator, for charging your electric devices and cell phone? Have you heard of an Alexa Pure Water Filtrration System or Berkey or Sawyer Straw to filter your water? Do ya'll own cuddle duds? Wool socks, wool blankets, wool scarves? Have you seen those LED portable light switches? Are you aware of a small cheap tent to put together and put the kids in and zip them up? Just trying to be helpful...be blessed. Enjoyed your video and yes I grew up in snow belts in Jersey, Michigan, and Ohio...lol. Will your family be able to buy a camp stove that runs on butane, with extra butane cans? Oh, be sure to get some dollar store candles to keep up high from the kiddies! Does your family have sleeping bags that are 20 to zero farienheit? This could happen again, anywhere at anytime.You seem like this will be the last time you will endure this! Take care.

Hey if you have a cooler u can place your food that u usually keep in freezer or in frig in there and keep it out on the balcony or in ur car to keep it cold.

I live in Southern California we have never hardly ever had snow where I live and I mean snow like stays in the ground a couple hours and then only happens about every 10 to 20 years and I’ve lived here all my life I couldn’t live in the cold that you’re dealing with so you’re tough you’re hanging in there and I’m proud of you

I understand what you’re going through! I live in NY this happens to us every once in awhile! We have a percolator coffee maker, I got a car plug to charge all the tech stuff! We have extra propane. I’m sorry you had to go through this! 🙋🏼‍♀️🇺🇸🙏🏻

Thank you very much for sharing all that information!

I've been seeing many snow storm videos from different cities...Can't relate here since we are in a tropical country and it's so hot. Good luck to your family though. Stay safe and God Bless, hoping you can see mine too!

The news predicts the worst snow storm for this Winter 2022! so i just wanted to share a little tip if I may , get a tent for the kids to sleep in and start filling up empty galloon jugs with water for flushing! and washing up! I am from San Antonio. I just subscribe to your channel! i plan to make a video on how to cook indoor without power my power did the same on and off but we had no water at all!

I hope you charged your phone while warming in the car. I bet everyone will remember the fun of staying together just to keep warm.

Hope you guys are all going to stay bundled up and warm glad to hear you’re in bed trying to stay as warm as you can this will pass but it might be a few more days of freezing cold weather please be safe and the kids to

New subscriber first video. I just had to say may Yashua and the Almighty watch over all of you guys and your loved ones. Sending love from AZ. Being originally from Chicago for the first 30 yrs of my life till we moved here in 03 I get the cold and snow but for you guys it is disastrous. Like here in east valley we are equipped for 120 degrees not below zero. I wish I could help all you Texans out. Hopefully now things are getting 🙏 better.

Oh my gosh look at that snow I can’t believe it. I don’t know how you’re living through all these trials over there in Texas I hear it is terrible I have quite a bit of family and friends that live there and they’re all telling me the same thing it’s really is hard because of all the snow when ice thank you so much for a great video please be safe out there I don’t want anything to happen to you bye-bye for now from grandma Sandy until the next video

Lots of prayers for you guys!🙏🙏🙏

That is not snow that’s heavy sleet. You can hear it hitting the ground. I live in ne Ohio where we are used to snow. When it sleets snow like that it always turns into ice and we don’t drive either. At least not until the salt trucks some out. Normally the salt trucks try to stay ahead of the storms here. Next time, if there is one, turn off your main water line and open all your water lines. Turn the water on to empty out the lines. Your pipes won’t burst. Hope you are all ok.

"WHAT IS THIS??!!!" bwahahaha....I'm from Houston and I know the feeling!!!

If it gets bad to the point theres no heat inside try cuddling with someone to help give body heat towards eachother as a natural thing, you can also wrap sweaters that would help, stay safe and dont trip to much

That was really good. I subscribed to your video. That poor baby was so scared with the marker on her face. Bless her heart. My kids did that but with ink pen up and down the walls and it was so hard to cover up with paint bc the ink kept coming back through the paint. God bless.

Hello I’m a new to your channel I also live in Houston 🥴

Get a solar battery charger for your cell phones. Also hot water bottles are the best to snuggle up with in the winters. Also a 120V inverter. You can plug it into your car's cigarette lighter and then plug up electric blankets to warm up with while in the car. Hopefully this is a once in a lifetime thing for y'all, but thats just some advice from an Ohio prepper lol.

HI IM MARIE, I HAVE AN IDEA, DO YOU HAVE CANDLES, WERE SUPPOSED TO MOVE IN A YEAR OR TWO, BUT SAN ANTONIO

Spring tx that's my home town

Hi 👋from Minnesota where its -14.

She documents very well

I know what you went through. We live in abilene texas.

I'm from Chicago, I can remember being cold in our house a couple of winters. Not that we didn't have power; but the house had a few breaches, windows, doors. I can recall mom put up curtains over the door (which was frozen on the inside), windows always had frost on the inside. We used to write in the frost, mom didn't want us to, afraid we'd brake the glass, we never did. We also had gas; so, while she cooked, mom would turn the oven on for short burst and turn it off. We had heat, and power...i don't think I can ever recall a winter that we did not have power or heat, summers yes, I can recall several of them without power.

And it’s going to be super cold tonight

I should sell powerbanks in Texas.

Ice Cleats day.

Does your smoke detector need a fresh battery? (: I'm sorry, I know the cold can be so hard to bear.

Did you recieved one of those ridiculous light bills???

California had to deal with smoke for weeks with intermittent power and I have to say us Americans know how to survive and even thrive during this -- I want to say abuse.

Hey Britt this is maria, my church is WORSHIP IN TRUTH SAN BERNADINO CALIFORNIA BUT IN 2019 APRIL COVID STARTED. GET CHARCOAL, BE STRONG, YOU CAN LISTEN TO PASTOR DR. KEVIN T MORELAND'S PREACHING ON FACEBOOK ALL LOWER, I'M PRAYING FOR YOUR FAMILY JESUS LOVES YOU , STAY IN ONE ROOM,

Everyone is always worried about global warming. That really is not my fear this is my fear looking at all this cold air coming down and bringing all that snow that’s what will kill us not global warming

We are praying for you guys and everyone in Texas. Stay safe out there with your family! If you guys need something to do to keep the kids busy, check out our representative animated songs as seen on Pix 11 News in NYC!

Stay safe

Why would you be out there

Must not be that cold you seem to love being outside. Does not make sense.
