More than a million customers in Texas were without power Tuesday as powerful storms delivered another round of violent weather to the state still reeling from an almost unrelenting parade of destructive and deadly storms in recent weeks.

Storms unloaded hurricane-force wind gusts across the Dallas area, with Dallas Fort Worth International Airport recording a wind gust of 77 mph early Tuesday as power outages in the area started to skyrocket.

The same damaging storms that tore through Dallas hit Houston with hurricane-force winds Tuesday afternoon. Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport recorded a wind gust of 75 mph.

Maybe not as equal, but lets also remember that congress just passed a bill to make private jets impossible to track.

Now the media tried to figure out a way to sell this headline to get as many clicks as possible, and they came up with putting Taylor Swift in the headline. Thats fans now can't track her jet.

But the real story there is, that THIS time, we have no idea if Ted Cruz flew to Alaska.

What? If it's cold he flies to Cancun. I figure if it's hot he flies where it's cold. Stands to logic.

Point is.......how do we know if Ted Cruz is being a slimey little weasle again? Besides the fact that it's Ted Cruz.
