Millions of people in Texas have had their lives devastated over the past week by a horrific storm, which has brought deadly snow, ice and power cuts.

But while some charities and politicians are doing everything they can to help with the recovery effort, Senator Ted Cruz and the power companies are coming under fire for their cold-hearted attitudes towards the suffering.

The Quicky investigates why the Lone Star State was seemingly so ill-prepared for this natural disaster, and what can be done to ensure this kind of tragedy never happens again.
