More than 4.4 million customers are without power in Texas.

City officials in Abilene, Texas, announced Monday night that all city water services had been shut off due to the historic winter storm and cold.

The city water services were shut down at 7 p.m. local time "as a result of power outages from both power sources at all three of [the] water treatment plants," the city said in a statement.

Officials said they do not know when power and water will be turned back on.


Things are continuing to get worse
