Similar to neighbors like Allan Scuhlte, many Coastal Bend residents are staying inside due to the cold temperatures.
"It’s cold to me," he said regarding the weather. "I think it’s very cold. I believe the temperatures will be in the thirties today."
For some, they’ll stay inside and keep warm at home.
“There’s nothing like home sweet home, Nueces County Community Center Volunteer Luis Ramirez said. "However, if you don’t have the necessities to stay there during weather like this, well, you have to move.”
That's why other neighbors in rural areas are calling centers to find shelter for warmth.
“I received a call from a lady in San Diego and she was looking for a warming center for one of their seniors, "Ramirez said receiving calls from concerned neighbors.
