Taking to Twitter, Thomas wrote, “This is how cold it is at my Apartment. As a Texan, yes, I’m certainly not built for this. I don’t even care.”

Here’s what Thomas’ fan looks like.

Black’s post soon went viral prompting worrisome reactions from the social media users and stirred a flood of similar such instances reported by citizens from across the country. Check out the reactions here.

Another user from Texas shared an equally horrifying image of her house which was wrecked due to severe snow fall and wind storm.

An image of Houston’s park, where icicles are hanging from kids’ swing also captivated strong reactions from the netizens.

Meanwhile, in a shocking response to the testing situation, Tim Boyd, the mayor of Colorado City, has resigned amid an extreme winter storm that has left millions without power in Texas. 

The storm has claimed lives of more than 20 people across the United States so far and National Guard troops have been deployed to keep a check on the families in the affected regions.
