| episode_narrative | This was the worst cold snap of the 1995-96 winter season. The high temperature at Paducah on the 3rd was 7 degrees, making this one of the coldest February days on record. The low at Paducah was 3 below zero on both the 3rd and 4th. The cold weather caused water lines to freeze up in many homes, and several water main breaks occurred in Paducah. Some heating systems were overtaxed by the cold weather and broke down. Plumbers were kept busy repairing burst water pipes. Some homes received water damage as a result of burst pipes. A school was closed for a day when a burst water pipe flooded the basement with 3 feet of water, breaking the heating system. The TVA set an all-time record for power demand on the 5th. Several house fires were started by people trying to thaw pipes. At least four buildings in Marshall and McCracken Counties were heavily damaged or destroyed by fires related to the cold weather. |
