SOUND UP: Check out the ice weighing down these trees! Look to the right and listen to a tree fall - narrowly missing a power line. This is why we are seeing power outages folks! #atxwx #austin #icestorm #centraltexas

This event nicely shows why live oak trees (Quercus virginiana) do not grow very far north. Their broad canopy is very susceptible to damage from the weight of ice and snow.

Weight of the ice in Burleson County brought down this giant oak & unfortunately caused it to fall in the wrong direction.

This morning’s issue has shifted from collisions to the ice on power lines. Since 3 am we have responded to 76 reports of wires arcing. Please do not call 911 for general flashes of light in your neighborhood. Do call for specific addresses with wires down or on fire.

Advise motorists not to get out of their vehicle if involved in a collision on ice. Safest place is in the protection of car until first responders arrive.

What a mess it is for so many in north and central Texas today with the #icestorm. The aviation community not excluded as flights are put into holding patterns, or are diverting, due to poor runway conditions at DFW airport. #Flightaware No one is landing or taking off right now.
