| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A deep upper level trough moving eastward across the United States forced a bitterly cold Arctic airmass southward from Canada into the Gulf Coast states on January 7, 2010. This airmass remained in place for several days across southeast Texas, leading to the coldest temperatures seen across this region since February 1996. A few record low temperatures and record low maximum temperatures were set. Many locations in the Lakes Region of southeast Texas remained below freezing for over 36 hours from around midnight early on January 8th through the afternoon on Saturday January 9th. ||These bitterly cold temperatures led to several school closures, numerous weather-related fires, and widespread plumbing ruptures throughout southeast Texas. One indirect fatality occurred near Jamestown in Newton County due to a house fire. The Insurance Council of Texas estimated losses across southeast Texas from the cold weather at around $1 million. |
| Event narrativeevent_narrative | KFDM-TV and the Beaumont Enterprise reported widespread damaged plumbing across Jefferson County due to the record cold temperatures. 10 petrochemical plants and refineries across the county experienced excessive emissions due to cracked pipes, instrument failures, and equipment malfunctions. Entergy reported sporadic power outages through the county. Centerpoint Entergy used trucks to pump natural gas directly into a northwest Beaumont neighborhood of 100 homes after natural gas lines failed due to the cold weather. |
