1. Strong storms with damaging winds and baseball-sized hail pummeled Texas on Tuesday, leaving more than one million businesses and homes without power as much of the U.S. recovered from severe weather, including tornadoes that killed at least 24 people in seven states during the Memorial Day holiday weekend.

   By 5 a.m. EDT Wednesday, the number of customers in the dark was under the 500,000 mark.

   Voters in the state’s runoff elections found some polling places without power Tuesday. Roughly 100 voting sites in Dallas County were knocked offline. Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins declared a disaster area and noted that some nursing homes were using generators. “This ultimately will be a multi-day power outage situation,” Jenkins said Tuesday.

2. “Comeuppance” is a word that comes to mind.

   These people, along with the rest of humanity, need to get humbled and have the fact that this **IS** climate change bashed into their (very) thick skulls.

   Yes, Texans. Scientists have been saying this would happen all along. Accept it and move on from the delusion that our current society and way of life is “good”. It’s just fucking not.

   In Swedish, the word for “science” directly translates to “the craft of knowing”. So, truth.
