Winter storms continue to move across the U.S. this week,innocent teens ass sex videos while millions of Texans struggle to navigate power outages expected to continue until at least Thursday. According to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), 2.7 million households are still without power as of Wednesday morning, a staggering number that was a relative improvement from earlier in the week.

Some cities in the state have issued boil-water notices as the storm wreaks havoc on utility infrastructures. One county alone reported more than 300 cases of carbon monoxide poisoning from dangerous attempts to stay warm. Harrowing tales of the desperation of the state's residents are mounting. Preliminary reports say more than a dozen people have died from weather-related events across the country.

Americans nationwide are continuing to connect to help each other via the internet amid this national catastrophe, however. Twitter users from cold climates have shared tips for staying warm, crowdsourced resources for those without power and connected people to needed information.

Donate to groups providing emergency relief

Nonprofits and mutual aid networks are on the ground providing necessary survival items to communities, including food, warm clothes, transportation, and weather updates. Here are a few of many organizations in need of support, from a thread compiled by Twitter user Talia Jane (@itsa_talia) and beyond:

Share, share, share

Intense winter storms have caught the Texas power grid, and many residents of the state, off guard and unprepared. Sharing relevant information about how to stay warm, where to get food, or how to find temporary housing can help close the information gap for those at risk.

Twitter user DOXIE (@dox_gay) shared a general Texas Weather Crisis Master list, which includes information about mutual aid networks, emergency assistance, and resources for students in need.

NoirBnB, a Black-owned alternative to AirBnB, is asking users to offer warm homes, hotels, churches, or other shelters for temporary housing. You can email the company directly at [email protected] if you would like to offer a space for Texans in need.

Crowd Source Rescue's Rescue Map is an interactive website that allows volunteers to connect directly with those in need. Repurposed from Hurricane relief efforts, the map differentiates between calls for food or supplies, wellness checks, debris removal, and evacuation requests. You can sign up as a Crowd Source Rescue volunteer to assist anyone on the map.

Warming centers across the state have begun taking on the burden of warming Texans without power. Use this map to find a warming center near you or share with others. In addition to those listed on the official website, additional warming centers have sprung up elsewhere. NBC's Dallas affiliate compiled a list of warming centers at local community centers in North Texas. NBC's Austin affiliate published a list for Central Texas.

You can follow and add to the Twitter thread of warming centers below:
