[QUOTE="BrewingFrog, post: 3128592, member: 28"] At that time, I was living in the shabby roach motel known as the Westcliffe Manor Apartments. The A/C system over there was essentially a swamp cooler with underground piping to all the various units. The Long Freeze broke all of those buried pipes, and after things thawed out, they began digging and replacing all of that plumbing. It took until after we bugged out in May to finish, and people essentially slept with windows open at night. I remember it as being kind of fun... The shocking aspect of that freeze was it's depth and persistence. The cold air wafted down past the RGV and into Old Mexico quite a ways. Areas that hadn't seen a freeze in many decades got some Arctic love. The Valley Citrus growers were just about wiped out, as not only their crop, but their trees were destroyed by the cold. And, for those of you familiar with the Valley, the majestic Palms that grace the roadsides were nearly all killed. Only through diligent work, by thousands of volunteers, have the roads and look of the Valley returned to their formerly graceful ways. Oh, and FYI, in the Winter following the Great Hurricane of 1900, a brutal freeze swept over Coastal Texas that was so severe it froze over Galveston Bay! Yikes! [/QUOTE]
