Overview
A devastating freezing rain/ice storm event struck Northeast Texas, Southwest Arkansas, and Southeast Oklahoma on December 25-26, 2000. This storm caused widespread power outages and travel problems. At one point, much of the city of Texarkana was without power, telephone, and water. Ice accumulations were estimated by observes to be as much as an inch in Southwest Arkansas. There was a very narrow (about 20 miles) zone where conditions progressed from no icing to significant icing across Northeast Texas and Northern Louisiana.
