If you were a Texan, sitting in the cold and dark, no water, maybe no food, you might take umbrage at your elected representative jetting off to a Mexican beach.

Precisely, yes, many people feel this way. Sitting in a freezing house feeling envious of your neighbor who's sunning himself in Mexico? Save your money and book a vacation yourself. Personally I would avoid Mexico but that's me.
I served in the Texas State Guard for several years, State Active Duty is why we exist. FEMA doctrine does not name, require or need a US senator to respond to an event. Local first then state. He would only get in the way and remove resources from those who really need it. This goes for the president too.
But try explaining that to those who have a political ax to grind, that is all this is, Cruz, as others have already said, is the next target for the cancel warriors.

Personally, I prefer to have contingencies rather than to jet off to sh*tholes like Mexico. I was actually in a situation similar a few years back except the power was down 2 1/2 weeks. I rather enjoyed it. No work responsibilities. I used kerosene lanterns, used the wood stove for heat, stored the food in the bed of the truck to keep it frozen. I shot coyotes, tended fire, and read books in the evening. Was a great time. The key being ready for such situations.

Cruze broke off his planned vacation and returned to Texas, figured out the problem then turned up the Sun. Texas warmed up and the immediate problem was solved. What other politician turned up the Sun to thaw out Texas?
