  12. #Kentucky - #CatholicActionCenter opens #WarmingShelter for #homeless ahead of #WinterStorm

    #MotherTeresaShelter provides refuge for single, #unhoused individuals

    By WKYT News Staff and Alyssa Williams
    Published: Jan. 24, 2026

    LEXINGTON, Ky. (WKYT) - "With bitterly cold temperatures hitting Kentucky, community advocates are working to ensure those living on the streets have a warm place to go.

    "The Catholic Action Center has opened an impromptu warming shelter for single, unhoused individuals who need somewhere to go ahead of the winter storm.

    "Ginny Ramsey with the Catholic Action Center said the space is the Mother Teresa Shelter, which is located toward the back of the Catholic Action Center on Goodwin Drive.

    "She said this part of the building hasn’t been serving a purpose recently, so Thursday, she and other Catholic Action Center members wanted to provide this service.

    Cold weather already causing injuries

    "The Catholic Action Center placed several unhoused people in hotels, but Ramsey said she knows it’s impossible to get everyone taken care of.

    "Ramsey said she believes this is the city’s only #WarmingShelter open for those who are currently homeless, and she’s hopeful that word will get out about it because she worries what will happen if people are out on the streets much longer.

    " 'We have found so many people this week who already have damage from the cold. Some of them have already been pretty — we’ve had to take some to the hospital. We’ve had to bring some to get them warmed up, we know the damage going on out there,' Ramsey said.

    "The warming shelter opened at noon Saturday and will be open until noon Tuesday."

  13. #WarmingShelters open around #Dallas - #FortWorth amid weekend winter storm

    "As Dallas-Fort Worth braces for brutally cold temperatures, freezing precipitation, and possible power outages this weekend, local city buildings and nonprofits are opening their doors as warming shelters. Here is a running list of places where people can go to safely warm up and rest. The list will be updated as more are announced.

    "The City of #FortWorthTx manages an emergency overnight overflow sheltering program when temperatures reach certain thresholds and regular emergency shelters are at capacity. If regular emergency shelters and beds are full when people arrive, they will be relocated to available overflow beds at one of the available additional emergency shelter locations, the city says.They advise that individuals experiencing homelessness should first access one of the regular emergency shelters:

    - Union Gospel Mission (1321 E. Lancaster Ave.)

    - Presbyterian Night Shelter (2400 Cypress St.)

    - Families should go to the Salvation Army's J.E. & L.E. Mabee Social Service Center (1855 E. Lancaster Ave., Fort Worth)

    The City of #ArlingtonTx has additional overnight shelters available:

    - First United Methodist Church, 407 N. Mesquite St. Open on dates when overnight temperatures reach 32 degrees or less for four or more consecutive hours.

    - Nations Church Arlington, 1013 W. Park Row Drive. Open continuously from noon Friday-Monday as both a warming center and an overnight shelter.

    - All Arlington Public Library locations and recreation centers are open to the public for warming, in designated areas, during standard operating hours.

    - The Arlington Animal Services Shelter accepts pets of homeless individuals as capacity allows.

    The #SalvationArmy has several warming stations available across #TarrantTx, Dallas, and #Denton Counties. They'll provide shelter and warmth, food and drink, emotional and spiritual care, and additional supplies to anyone in need.

    Locations are:

    - In Tarrant County, the Arlington Corps Community Center (712 W. Abram St., Arlington) and J.E. & L.E. Mabee Social Service Center (1855 E. Lancaster Ave., Fort Worth)

    - In Denton County, the Denton Corps Community Center (1508 E. McKinney St., Denton) and Lewisville Corps Community Center (880 Fox Ave., #LewisvilleTx)

    - In Dallas County, the Garland Corps Community Center (451 W. Avenue D, Garland) and Carr P. Collins Social Service Center (5302 Harry Hines Blvd.)

    Dallas Public Libraries and Recreation Centers are open during regular hours as warming and charging stations.

    The Office of Homeless Solutions provides help for unsheltered individuals in Dallas.

    Austin Street Center, in partnership with the City of Dallas and OurCalling, is activating an Inclement Weather Shelter at Fair Park’s Automobile Building, at 1010 1st Ave., Dallas, beginning at 4 pm Friday, January 23. It can accommodate 1,200 individuals and will offer shuttle service, meals, restroom facilities, blankets, and a safe, heated space for those experiencing homelessness. (Note: Austin Street's shelter location at 2929 Hickory St. will not be in operation this weekend.)"

  14. #Houston freeze: How to stay safe and warm during a power outage

    By Caroline Wilburn, Staff Writer, Jan 23, 2026

    "With a frigid winter storm approaching the Houston region, there's potential for widespread power outages. But, there are proven ways to stay safe and warm in the event of power loss.

    Here's what to know about staying safe during a power outage.

    "What should I do if I lose power?
    In the event of a power outage, the American Red Cross recommends unplugging appliances and electronics to avoid potential power overloads or damage from power surges.

    "Use flashlights, lanterns or headlamps as light sources during power loss.
    If possible, those without power should try to get to a warming center.

    How do I stay warm if I lose power?

    "To keep heat inside a home, residents can cover windows with plastic from the inside to add a layer of insulation and keep the cold out, according to the Red Cross.

    "The Red Cross also recommends wearing several layers of clothes such as a hat, gloves and insulated boots to keep warm.

    What you shouldn't do if you lose power

    "Using a gas or outdoor stove to heat a home can be potentially deadly, as it can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, according to the Red Cross.

    "Fireplaces and portable heaters shouldn't be left on unattended or overnight, according to the Red Cross.

    "Harris County Public Health advises against using candles or a fireplace to burn items that aren't meant to be burned.

    "If you have an outside stove or generator, the Red Cross recommends only using it outdoors in a well-ventilated area away from windows to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning."

  15. The USPS is posting this message on their website the last few days. Maybe it'd be easier if they'd just tell us which two or three states *aren't* facing weather-related delays. 🥶🧊☃️🌨️

    "Alert: WINTER WEATHER IN THE SOUTHWEST, GREAT PLAINS, MIDWEST, GREAT LAKES, OHIO VALLEY, SOUTHEAST, AND NORTHEAST REGIONS OF THE US MAY DELAY FINAL DELIVERY OF YOUR MAIL AND PACKAGES."

  16. This winter storm in the US is overwhelming.
    Seven FEMA regions prepped. The FEMA daily brief spent nearly twice as much space talking about it than they've done any hurricane.
