WINTER WEATHER DANGERS
Drastic drops in temperatures can be dangerous for those without adequate heat sources, particularly the sick and elderly.
According to a Texas Health and Human Services report, an estimated 256 Texans died during the severe winter storm of February 2021, with 161 of those deaths attributed to hypothermia or severe cold exposure. Two of the total deaths happened in Burnet County and one in Llano County.
