December Ice Storm Grips South Causing Wide Delays
Bitter cold blamed for near 200 deaths nationwide hits the South with an ice storm that shuts Birmingham and freezes Texas coastal waters. Damage estimates top 30 million in Texas and reach 500 million in Florida as growers rush to process fruit and prevent rot. Forecasters warn a new cold outbreak is possible, though not as severe. At least 196 deaths have been reported since last week with ice coatings hindering travel from Alabama to Arkansas and New York.
