Gas lines!! Electrical. A frozen flood covering a house is genuinely devastating.

there are neighborhood handy people that are helping out. there was a guy on the local news that was going around shutting off all the gas lines. it's wild that they can't get contractors out there

Gas lines is obvious, but what would happen to electrical lines on this? Fuses would pop and breakers would snap, but is there permanent damage to the lines or something?
