Just drove by Ted Cruz’s house in Houston. His lights are off but a neighbor told me the block got its power back last night. Also, Ted appears to have left behind the family poodle. 
Just to clarify, this was taken around 1pm central on Thursday. It's possible Ted brought the poodle back from Cancun with him, or that a family member was staying behind to take care of the dog.
I've reached out to Cruz's office for comment
To those wondering where the snow is, it's mostly melted all over Houston. Temp got near 40 yesterday and is currently 39 and sunny. Still some ice but little snow on ground.
The poodle's name appears to be Snowflake. Which is probably how it felt being left behind without heat in subzero weather
