| Episode narrativeepisode_narrative | A record ice storm hit southwest Louisiana and southeast Texas. The hardest hit area was Calcasieu Parish. Over 40,000 electric customers were without power for up to six days due to the number of downed trees and power lines. Numerous traffic accidents were attributed to icy roadways. One 54 year old woman was killed in an accident in Avoyelles Parish, and one 41 year old man was killed in an accident in Beauregard Parish. Millions of tons of debris were removed, taking over two months to pick up in some areas. Hundreds of homes received minor roof damage due to trees and tree limbs falling on them. |
