episode_narrativeAn intense upper level low pressure system moved across the state of Texas on February 25th. As the system translated to the east, a cold front moved through South Texas during the morning hours. Northwest winds became very strong in the afternoon across the entire region. Sustained winds ranged from 35 to 45 mph with gusts to around 50 mph for most of South Texas. But in the Coastal Bend, winds were even higher with sustained winds ranging from 45 to 55 mph with gusts to near 65 mph. These higher winds produced significant areas of blowing dust. Visibilities were reduced to less than a quarter of a mile in localized areas across San Patricio, Nueces, and Kleberg Counties. The high winds along with very dry conditions provided extreme fire danger conditions. Several wildfires occurred in the Coastal Bend during the afternoon. The high winds blew down power lines in several areas in the Coastal Bend knocking out power to more than 4000 customers. The winds also destroyed a storage shed in Skidmore and blew down a telephone pole in Portland.
event_narrativeSeveral wildfires developed across portions of Nueces County mainly due to downed power lines. Fires occurred at the Hazel Bazemore Park, near Farm to Market Road 1889 and U. S. Highway 77 north of Robstown, and near the Celanese Plant near Bishop. The high winds caused a structure fire to spread and envelop a total of 3 homes in the city of Robstown with two of the homes complete losses.
