We need to have a fair investigation, understanding what's happening and held accountable. We continue to hear, and we heard it from the vice president that these folks can do whatever they want.

It's going to be a long day. Snow turned to freezing rain overnight and it hasn't stopped. Ice storms are particularly dangerous in the south. For one, the trees aren't used to the weight. But also majority of houses are heated with electricity. It could take days to restore power. And we're looking at temperatures below freezing for the next week.
