Winter storms: one of the more simple types of storm systems that occur across the world. At least in context to meteorology. More often than not, the majority of them are nothing to write home about in the weather history books. Very rarely do winter storms cause billions of dollars in damages, and rarely do fatalities end up being over 50 in the United States. But there are exceptions, there’s a few significant winter storm events that are remembered to this day. 2 Of them specifically on a national level. One of those is the 1993 Storm of the Century, and the other one, the topic of today’s video, is the costliest natural disaster observed in the United States. A series of Winter Storms alongside one of the coldest arctic blasts in the United States in recent memory spelled disaster for the state of Texas. That event was the 2021 Texas Deep Freeze, also known as the 2021 Valentine's Week Winter Outbreak
In February 2021, A blast of arctic air swept across the United States, bringing with them two winter storms which swept across the eastern and central portions of the United States. Most of the states affected saw significant impacts, but nothing outright historic in terms of winter precipitation, except for the lone star state. Record snowfall and ice alongside the bitter, arctic air; left the state of Texas frozen over. For nearly a week, snow and ice encompassed the vast majority of Texas.Pipes burst due to the extreme cold, and the Texas Power Grid failed across the majority of the state due to a series of failures made by those in control. The damage done to the state of Texas alone led to the 2021 Texas Deep Freeze becoming the costliest natural disaster in United States History, taking the title away from Hurricanes Katrina, and Harvey, with the official estimate from the state of Texas alone placing the damage total from the Deep Freeze at $195 billion, while newer estimates suggest the damage toll could be as high as $300 billion in the state. But what exactly led to this horrific series of events to happen in the first place. Well that’s what I’m here to explain today. Today I will be taking a deep dive into the 2021 Texas Deep Freeze, giving a brief overview on how winter weather setups work, the synopsis of the event, the preparations taken, an overview of what happened meteorologically, and on the ground, the response, the aftermath, and the significance of the event. Welcome to Nature’s Fury.
