Clearly the big headline this week is the impending inclement weather that is fast approaching Midland and Odessa, Texas.  While most of us will be safe from the elements inside our homes, concern regarding the homeless comes to mind and what exactly they will do once the inevitable cold reaches us.

Both Midland and Odessa have established "warming stations" throughout the city where people can go to escape unforgiving weather conditions. These dedicated areas will be open to the public and offer a safe haven to essentially ride out the storm.
