I live just north of Dallas. Water and electric never went off as I am in a regulated environment and don't think it affected Grayson Collin Electric Coop too much.
I had a water line burst inside my house. I couldn't even get a plumber to take a message let alone come out. I know a Hispanic gentleman that has done a lot of work for me before. He knows everything about houses. He was afraid to drive in the ice and snow with his old truck. I went and picked him up, he fixed it, and I took him home. The girl I am dating had her thumb over the leak until I could get the water turned off.
She had 2 ceilings in her house collapse due to 4 bursts in pipes in her attic. There were inches of water and floating insulation throughout her house. There is 100K+ damage on a 200k'ish house. Pain in the short run but almost a new house in the long run. It will be a long time before everyone gets back to normal in Texas.
