Wow. Forget about the cars...what about the foundations of those houses. Yikes!

And the water and sewer pipes. Those basements are going to be wrecked.

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?
