'We're here for them'

As winter weather pummels Texas with snow, ice and freezing temperatures, Houston businessman "Mattress Mack" is opening his doors to those in need once more.

Jim "Mattress Mack" McIngvale first went viral in 2017 when Hurricane Harvey struck Houston. McIngvale opened some of his Gallery Furniture stores during the storm, turning them into evacuation shelters.


Houston is again in danger this week, as storms have knocked out power and turned roads to ice -- and "Mattress Mack" wants his community to know there is a safe place to turn.

"It's kind of a feeling of déjà vu doing this again, though obviously the circumstances are quite a bit different," McIngvale told ABC News. "But the need is tremendous."
