When storm damage means water damage

3/15/2021 (Permalink)

Frozen pipes flood homes and businesses across Texoma.

National headlines in February drew attention to the fact that almost two-thirds of the United States was in the midst of an arctic blast of record breaking temperatures.

Many media images also showed record levels of snow fall, massive pileups on freeways, and entire areas closed to travel due to hazardous conditions.

Here in Southwest Oklahoma, the images weren't as dramatic, although the damage was certainly severe.

The frigid temperatures resulted in tens of thousands of homes and businesses without electricity, heat and water.

For some, the outages lasted almost a week.

For those properties without heat and running water, it was inevitable that broken pipes would lead to water damage.
