This is my sentiment as well and why I moved out of Austin shortly after the freeze in 2021.
Republicans have an iron grip on Texas and the result is any funding for disaster preparedness will never be used. They were warned of the cold weather issues a decade ago and decided to pocket the money. They've been warned of flooding and other issues, and again pocket the money. The only way things are going to change in Texas is if people get actually angry about these disasters and the ineptitude of the state government but I don't see that happening in my lifetime.
