Millions of Texans were left without power after a rare winter storm brought snow and below normal temperatures. Pipes have been bursting, producing ice inside and outside homes across the state. One resident found their car covered in ice in a parking lot in Galveston.

Power has been restored to most of the state but more than seven million people are still under a boil water advisory.

80 people have died from the storm so far in Texas and officials say it could take months before they know the final death toll, according to the Washington Street Journal. Some suffered hypothermia, while others died from carbon monoxide poisoning trying to stay warm.
